Nathan says
Hey there, these looking amazing. Planning to make for Christmas. Just a question – do you use hulled or unhulled? Thanks!
Tessa says
Hi Nathan! Thanks so much. Most commmercial tahini is made from hulled sesame seeds, but either will work. The flavor will be a bit different. Unhulled has a richer flavor. If you are making your own tahini, you really can use hulled or unhulled sesame seeds. The unhulled just won’t be as smooth. I hope that helps!
