Tahini

[romie]

I've just found a 340g jar of Tahini in the back of my cupboard, it's a year out of date, ingredients just sesame seeds no additions

Can I use it?
Apart from hummus, any other nommy suggestions???


Thanks guys

Not sure about whether it'll be ok, I'd like to know too! It makes a nice unusual salad dressing with a bit of water

Open it, sniff it, if it isn't mouldy or smells off, then use it. It's only a year out of date after all. I just cooked dinner last night using very out of date Thai red curry paste and a packet of coconut milk that was at least a year out of date too. Well I wouldn't know what 'off' red curry paste smelt like anyway given that it contains that lovely fermented shrimp paste but it was all great and we are still alive today.

My experience is that tahini lasts for ages/ever. Only possibility is that the oil might go rancid - so just taste it.

I 'm wonderig how many out of date pots of tahini are there around ?
I have 2!

If it was previously unopened ie still under vaccuum imo i wouldn't worry and use it , if opened smell and taste like the others said.

I love marmite and tahini on toast. We also gave it to our dog when she was a puppy to get extra calcium in her diet. It can also be used to make satay sauces similar ro peanut butter ones.
