Hey there,
Ever wonder what gives hummus its signature richness? Say hello to tahini—a velvety sesame seed paste that deserves way more than just a cameo in dips.
Why Tahini Should Be a Pantry Staple:
- Made from ground sesame seeds, it’s rich, nutty and naturally creamy—without any dairy or added oils.
- A versatile base for dressings, sauces and spreads—from lemony salad drizzle to bold Buddha bowl toppings.
- Sweet or savory? Both. Tahini works just as well in cookies, brownies and smoothies as it does in savory dishes.
- Packed with plant-based calcium, iron and healthy fats to fuel your body.

Stay nutty (in the best way).
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
