Tahini is more than a tasty snack – it’s also full of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, lecithin, magnesium, iron and potassium. You’ll find sesame seeds are a better source of protein than most nuts, and they’re full of B vitamins as well. Tahini is a high alkaline food, which makes it easy for your body to digest. It’s a rich source of “good” fats (unsaturated fats), filled with the goodness of pure crushed sesame seeds.
Oh Mega is a proudly South African brand of tasty nut butters and spreads made using pure, hearty natural Ingredients, which means they’re packed full of flavour and health benefits.
Directions
Refrigerate after opening.
Warnings

Firstly, it's the most affordable and secondly - it only has sesame seeds in it, no additives, preservatives, firming agents etc. It tastes great and it works really well in a tahini salad dressing and a home made hummus.
Would 100% recommend Oh Mega Tahini!15/11/2019, By AbigailThis is delicious and lasts for ages in the fridge. Its all I can do not to use it for a salad dressing EVERY day!14/09/2019, By NicholaGreat tahini, smooth and creamy and thick enough, while easily pourable.06/09/2019, By BeeLove the product.

Love using it to make hummus & salad dressings, and adding it to smoothies27/07/2019, By TessI use this to make hummus and it is lovely.

It makes my sauces and dips flavoursome26/03/2019, By JulietaThis is the best thing I've ever used for mushroom sauce. I find it a bit strong as a dip.

I even use it in vegan ice cream... it is that versatile.20/03/2019, By Joy ChristineFirst time to try sesame tahini, and it is very strong for my taste. I used it to make sesame tahini fat bomb but still tasting a bit bitter for me.16/03/2019, By NellyDelicious when used in dressings and Sauces. I've found this brand is slightly less bitter than others I have tried, so it blends better when I'm mixing up dressings or dips.16/01/2019, By AbigailThis is one of my most favourite things. Not only as a spread but also just to put some on any meal. Delicious on veggies or potatoes.09/01/2019, By SianWould really recommend this tahini to others. I've tried a few different brands and this is really good.04/12/2018, By CaddieI love it, tahini is one of my favourite things. However, I do prefer Natures Choice brand, as it is a lot more creamy and tasty. This one has an ever so slight bitter taste with it. But I will easily buy it again25/10/2018, By DebbieI bought this for making hummus. Needless to say, I am on the hunt for a good hummus recipe still. The Tahini is great and I like that there are no questionable additives in it.15/10/2018, By AbigailHave really enjoyed eating this as a spread by itself though I imagine it be great for hummus etc too. It is like a non-sweet nut butter. Love it!07/10/2018, By ChantalAnother high quality Oh Mega product - great value for money and best tasting tahini27/08/2018, By MoniqueOh goodness, it gave the wrong comment - ignore my comment below!
I keep 2 brands of tahini in my kitchen...nature's choice brand which has a more savoury taste and so i like to use it for savoury things like hummus, and the ohMega brand which somehow tastes less savoury, so i use it for homemade sweet treats. The ohMega is tasty right out the jar, but for me the nature's choice is too salty and strong to eat it just as is.27/08/2018, By MoniqueThese are sooo yummy - i bought them for my kiddie as a healthy snack. I sometimes stole a piece or 2 because they're so yummy. So pricy though because a bag of this doesn't last long eat all. They're soft and kinda chewy but not tough at all, so good for small children.19/08/2018, By JSmooth, delicious tahini. It works really well in hummus, and lasts for months in the fridge.12/08/2018, By LGreat product. Tastes delicious and great for salad dressings and hummus.12/06/2018, By MaureenI use this on a regular basis. I add it to my vegan cheese recipes as well as make tahini sauce in various types. Add fresh lemon juice, some raw crushed garlic and water to desired thickness. Great on raw cauliflower. Also make one with some low sodium soy sauce. Use that with shaved Brussels sprouts, pumpkin seeds, chopped pecan nuts and a few cranberries.11/06/2018, By RicardoTasted great in the wraps my family and I made. Great nutty taste that blended well with some chilli sauce.07/06/2018, By Bianccause it for cookies, hummus and salad dressing. Great tasting product06/06/2018, By CatPerfect consistency for such a natural product. I use it in deserts and to make the best humus ever! And it's fun :)09/05/2018, By PreshaI've made the mistake of buying cheap tahini in the past and man can you taste the difference! This is creamy and smooth. Can't go wrong with any oh mega product!30/10/2017, By AmyIf you are looking for single ingredient product, this is the winner. It's fabulous and tasty.09/09/2017, By ShannonTahini is pricey but this is the cheapest I've come across so far and OhMega is generally a great brand with a big variety of delicious, pure nut butters that are good enough to eat out the jar. Make sure to refrigerate to stop it from going rancid.02/09/2017, By MarietteThis was waaayyyy to bitter for me. I am not a tahini connoisseur but I have tried 4 different brands of Tahini and have found them all extremely bitter. When you google "should tahini taste bitter" you get a array of opinions ranging from it should taste slightly bitter; no - it shouldn't be bitter and if it tastes bitter it is rancid; others say that un-hulled sesame seeds gives a non bitter taste. I honestly can't say if I just don't like the taste of Tahini (although I love good hummus) or that every type of Tahini i have purchased tastes extremely bitter. Perhaps it is just me and my family?!
(The lid didn't pop when I opened it and some oil was leaking from the bottle although the plastic seal was in place.)28/08/2017, By WeeCant get better than this. Its sesame seeds crushed and nothing else. I have just made the the nicest hummus ever because I used a big dollop of "Oh Mega Sesame Tahini". Makes all the difference in the creamy taste. I highly recommend this product.17/06/2017, By KSGreat tahini, love the taste and texture, perfect as is for a spread.29/06/2016, By MeeresbrieseThis tahini has a super smooth texture and the taste is natural and perfect.26/02/2016, By MaureenJust going to re-order as I only have a third of a jar left. Love this stuff. The texture is great, the taste amazing and I love it. Made some great tahini sauce to go with spinach falafels - yum yum and more yum. No extra ingredients - just the pure seeds. Perfect.16/01/2016, By TammyHands down the best Tahini Ive ever had, and more affordable than other brands out there. Im very happy.
