Ground to perfection, favorite nuts and seeds transform into delicious tahini. And which are the favorites?

Crunchy or smooth, spread on toast or added to dessert? Tahini has countless variations and uses. It can be added to your morning smoothie or turned into sauces for savory dishes and salads.
The choice of your favorite option is up to you, but the important thing is that every nut and, consequently, every tahini is rich in healthy fats, essential proteins, fiber, and vitamins from groups A, E, B, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc, and potassium.

The next important criterion by which you should choose the tahini you consume is its composition. Upon a quick check of the label of some tahini, we can find that, in addition to nuts, they often contain sugars and added oils. These ingredients are unnecessary when the authentic creamy taste and pure content can be achieved solely with nuts.

That’s why Bett’r offers exactly this with its line of tahini and nut butters with innovative process technology – 100% organic nuts, without any additives, with a delicate consistency,

that does not harden – excellent for snacking even with just a spoon!
They are gluten-free, suitable for a keto diet, and a great alternative for vegans and vegetarians. The choice is between almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, or peanuts ground to perfection!

Here’s a little more about each of them:

Peanut Tahini,

primer

also known as peanut butter, comes in two classic varieties: smooth and crunchy. Many peanut butters on the market have added sweeteners and additional hydrogenated fats. But Bett'r's peanut tahini makes no compromises with its content. Roasted 100% organically grown peanuts give it a unique taste. And in the "crunchy" version, we added just a pinch of salt, along with delicate crunchy peanut pieces.
 

Like all Bett'r tahini, it is gluten-free and suitable for keto and vegan diets.

  •  Combine with jam – on a toast sandwich with jam – a classic American snack
  • Numerous Asian recipes for noodles and curries require peanut sauce – simply stir with a little water to the desired consistency
  • And why not add it to the brownie batter?

Almond Tahini
 

For those just discovering the world of tahini, Bett'r almond tahini is a perfect next step. It is similar to peanut butter in consistency, but has fewer natural sugars and contains a little more calcium. A spoonful of tahini is a whole healthy bomb! It is also a suitable alternative for people allergic to peanuts.
Bett'r offers the choice between organically grown roasted blanched or unblanched almonds, ground to perfection.

 

  • Add almond tahini to oatmeal for breakfast, along with some sliced banana and a handful of berries
  • A spoonful in your granola or muesli and your favorite nut milk of choice
  • Mix with aromatic spices and a little lemon to make a unique sauce for pasta, roasted vegetables, or potatoes


Cashew Tahini

Studies show that vegetarians, vegans, and people who generally add more nuts to their daily diet have a lower risk of obesity. Cashew is one of the healthiest of them, despite its high caloric value. Rich in beneficial monounsaturated fats, proteins, and many vitamins and minerals, this nut transforms into a creamy delight with Bett'r. The rich taste and velvety texture make cashew tahini an excellent ingredient in many recipes:

  • Add the much-needed protein to your morning smoothie with a spoonful of tahini
  • Diversify your spring salad with a tahini dressing
  • Add to cookie dough before baking them in the oven


Hazelnut Tahini


An unparalleled pleasure for the senses, made from the highest quality organic hazelnuts, roasted and ground to preserve their authentic taste and aroma.
A source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, Bett'r's hazelnut delight in a jar perfectly combines with so many recipes for sweets, baked goods, and drinks:
 

 
  • Make a healthy and incredibly delicious spread by adding hazelnut tahini, a little cocoa or carob, and just enough sweetness to your liking
  • Raw candies become even more aromatic and stunningly delicious with hazelnut tahini
  • Try a spoonful of Bett'r hazelnut tahini in hot coffee – just stir!

    Tahini and its Health Benefits

Nuts and their respective tahini are high in calories. But what exactly they contain is essential. Pure tahini, without impurities, is an impressive combination of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients most necessary for the body. A spoonful or two of tahini a day provides some of the body's needed unsaturated fats, fiber, and proteins, while also taking care of the health of the skin, hair, and nails.

 

What if we are allergic to nuts?

A mild reaction to some nuts can signal a stronger reaction to other types. Here are some of the symptoms of an allergic reaction:

  • Redness, itching, rashes, or swelling on the skin
  • Rapid breathing or wheezing
  • Itching, tingling, or "tightness" in the mouth and/or throat area
  • Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Runny nose

Immediately seek medical attention if any of these symptoms appear after consuming nuts.

If you already have a diagnosed nut allergy, don't worry, because seed tahini is a wonderful and popular alternative.

For example, the most widespread seed tahini globally is made from sesame – roasted or raw, hulled or whole grain. It has a low content of saturated fats and salts but is mainly rich in proteins and fiber, as well as many minerals.

It is used in a huge number of recipes, for both sweet and savory dishes.

As we mentioned at the beginning, the varieties of tahini and nut and seed butters are endless.
We cannot fail to mention tahini from sunflower seeds, walnuts, or coconut.
If you have a favorite nut or type of seed, it can be turned into a delicious tahini or spread. It is important to combine these delights for the senses and the body with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

Bett'r guarantees not only the taste and technology of its tahini recipes but also the quality of the ingredients used. We believe that once tasted, you will want to taste them again!
