Best Answer

Tahini and sesame paste are a paste of ground sesame seeds that can be eaten uncooked, or, alternatively, used in cooking. It is a key ingredient in dishes such as hummus, various Asian dishes, halva, etc. It can also be eaten as a side dish or as a garnish, usually including lemon juice, salt and garlic, sugar. The ingredients determine if it needs to be refrigerated: hummus = yes; halva = no; sauces with tahini = yes. The raw tahini, however, does not need to be refrigerated.

Sesame oil is highly resistant to rancidity, so you can keep tahini fresh for an extended period of time, as long as it’s in an airtight container. Some people recommend keeping it in the refrigerator as well, which could potentially extend its life to several years. Make sure that any utensil that goes into the tahini is completely clean and dry. Even a few drops of water can cause a jar of tahini to go bad.


If your tahini sits for an extended period of time, the oil and solids may separate. Stirring them back together can be difficult, although it is possible. If you are unable to stir them back together, or you find some solids at the bottom of the jar, you can use the sesame oil for cooking and blend the solids into dressings.
