Tahini is concentrated sesame, and each spoon of Alrawdha premium tahini delivers meaningful energy and nutrients. Understanding nutrition helps UAE families use it wisely across meals.

Tahini provides unsaturated fats including oleic acid, plus plant protein, fibre, calcium, iron, and zinc. Adding lemon to sauce improves plant iron absorption thanks to vitamin C.

Calories are relatively high because the product is rich in natural oil; moderation matters. Two tablespoons usually suffice for a shared dressing.

Compared with halawa, plain tahini has no added sugar — better for daily use. Halawa is an occasional sweet treat.

Read the nutrition table on Syriana or Alrawdha packs; data is shown in Arabic and English per UAE food labelling rules.

Pair tahini with vegetables, legumes, and whole grains for balanced nutrition without supplements. Consult a dietitian if you have sesame allergy.
