Tahini vs Black Sesame Paste

Have you heard of Tahini?

My Mummy hasn't, until she read the Super Baby Food book.

Tahini is a paste made from grinding sesame seeds just as peanut butter is made from grounded peanuts. It is a spread so it's super easy to add into baby's food.
Tahini is super healthy because it is high in calcium, protein, and healthy fats baby need for proper development (e.g. brain development).

Chinese also believe that black sesame seeds are great for hair growth.

Not only are sesame seeds a very good source of manganese and copper, but they are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. In addition to these important nutrients, sesame seeds contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin. Both ... have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage.

So Mummy went in search of Tahini and found only one brand in the supermarkets - Melrose.

Mummy didn't buy Melrose Tahini cos it says on the label, "may contain traces of peanut".
She decided to look for other brands and happen to find this

Healthy Mate's Organic Black Sesame Paste
in an organic shop at HarbourFront Centre -
Taste Original (Organic Food).

It says "suitable for diabetic" so Mummy thought it must be less sweet than Tahini.
(somehow, Mummy thinks Peanut Butter is not very healthy so she's not convinced that Tahini is any better)

Review - this "suitable for diabetic" black sesame paste has a little bit of bitter taste so add just a little bit (tip of a teaspoon) to baby's meal less baby doesn't like the bitter taste.
now we wonder if tahini will be sweet. haha.

Tip: use a dry spoon to scoop from the jar.
