Mic doesn't mince words, describing tahini as "the most under-appreciated nut butter of all time," while advocating for the blended sesame seed paste to be incorporated into more recipes. Tahini delivers a nutty flavor profile and can run thick, similar to smooth peanut butter blends, but without any added nuts. For those with allergies to tree nuts, tahini can be the easy substitute you've been looking for (unless you're allergic to sesame seeds, of course).
Nutritionally, peanut butter and tahini are pretty similar: They're both gluten-free spreads that pack healthy minerals, and you can easily find versions with no added sugar. Plus, sesame seeds contain heart-supporting B vitamins, calcium, vitamin E, and zinc (via Thrive Market). Even if you're reluctant to hand over the peanut butter completely, once you try some tahini in cookies, sauces, dressings, and dip recipes — like this avocado tahini recipe — you may change your tune.
