    How to store tahini after opening?

    Once opened, tahini, also known as sesame butter, can be stored in different ways, either in the refrigerator or in the pantry. Storing tahini in the refrigerator is the most recommended method as it helps preserve freshness and slow down the oxidation of the product. However, if you plan to use the rest of your tahini container within the next few weeks, it is perfectly safe to store it in the pantry.

  • Lipids
    - g
    -

  • Saturated fats
    - g
