Tahini Everything: Meet The Women Behind NYC’s Seed + Mill

We discovered Seed + Mill after coming across their insane looking halvah below and found that we'd stumbled straight into superfood heaven.

Tahini is simply ground sesame paste - a staple in middle eastern diets for eons. It's what gives hummus its creamy, rich taste and texture. It's also what turns any roasted veggie into a dish so delicious it's worthy of tears (see our sauce roundup here).

The ladies of NYC's Seed + Mill, Lisa Mendelson, Monica Molenaar and Rachel Simonsare are turning the simple goodness of tahini into a category all it's own. In fact, grinding fresh tahini at their store in Chelsea Market, they are the only store in the U.S. solely dedicated to sesame seed products.

Sesame seeds are rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. The seed's high iron, calcium and magnesium content make them an ideal food for women.

Here are all the delicious ways the ladies of Seed + Mill are working tahini into their daily recipes. We're following suit and making this miso sauce immediately. TCM Tip: Add a little lemon juice and water into the jar of tahini paste and stir it into a thick, rich dip if it becomes separated.[olists num=1][olists num=2]
