Mighty Sesame, The maker of the original all-natural, squeeze-and-serve tahini has done it again with their new Harissa Tahini.  (Epicurious anointed original Mighty Sesame Tahini The Best Tahini You Can Buy).  Now, this new game-changer makes it easier than ever to add extra zip and a bit of heat to everything from dressings and dips to meat and veggies.

The sesame experts make their tahini from the finest Ethiopian sesame seeds and serve it up in shake-and-squeeze bottles for maximum convenience. The new variety contains a blend of 100% natural harissa spices for a distinctively aromatic flavor profile with a kick.

But just what is harissa? Seen on nearly every Israeli, Moroccan, and Tunisian table, it’s a paste made by blending roasted hot red peppers with other spices and herbs. This fragrant chili paste is often combined with garlic, olive oil, cumin, coriander, caraway & mint for a distinctive Mediterranean flavor. There are as many variations of harissa as there are grandmas who’ve passed their secrets down the generations. It can be hot or mild, smoky or pungent – depending on the ingredients and techniques involved.

Basically, all you need to know is Harissa + Tahini = Yum!

Like all Mighty Sesame tahini’s, the Harissa variety is ready to use with just a shake and a squeeze, no stirring required. It is packed with protein and contains 260mg of calcium per serving.
