Pure Organic Raw Sesame Seed Butter, Slow Food
Raw Sesame Seed Butter: A Nutrient-Dense Spread for Health and Flavor
Raw Sesame Seed Butter, also known as Raw Sesame Cream, is a creamy, nutritious spread derived from the direct grinding of Organic, Raw, Whole, Italian Sesame Seeds. This careful preparation method, which keeps temperatures below 40°C, preserves the nutritional benefits of sesame seeds by retaining the husk and freshness of the latest harvest. Many producers toast or hull sesame seeds to speed up processing, which can strip the seeds of vital nutrients. In contrast, our sesame butter is pure and natural—no added sugars, milk, emulsifiers, or other ingredients—making it a healthy, flavorful, and sustainable choice for those focused on well-being. Our seeds are also sourced from the Slow Food Presidium in Ispica, underscoring their environmental and consumer value.
Nutritional Benefits and Culinary Uses
Raw sesame butter is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, offering robust support for bones, heart health, and intestinal function. This spread is particularly appreciated in vegan, vegetarian, and macrobiotic cuisine due to its high-calorie content and abundance of good fats and carbohydrates. Rich in calcium, phosphorus, and potassium, it helps combat physical and mental fatigue while boosting the immune system. The unsaturated fatty acids in sesame seeds aid in lowering “bad” cholesterol, while the butter's antioxidant properties support cellular health and may help in cancer prevention.
Popular Uses Across Cuisines
With its rich and slightly exotic taste, raw sesame butter is a popular addition in dishes across Mediterranean and African cuisines, particularly in Greece, Turkey, and North Africa. It is frequently used in hummus, halva, and baba ghanoush, and can add depth and creaminess to a range of recipes.
Incorporating raw sesame butter into your diet can elevate both flavor and nutrition, offering a delicious and wholesome alternative for enhancing your health.
