Golden Field Tahina, Premium Quality, in a bulk carton for hummus, moutabal, tarator, shawarma sauce and salad dressings.
This is a kitchen size: a plain white shipping carton with handling arrows and a large green panel showing a white bowl of pale tahina set over a golden field. A red band reads Tahina, Premium Quality, with the Arabic tahina, first grade, above it, and the Golden Fields logo sits at the top. The gallery shows a swirl of hummus topped with chickpeas, paprika and olive oil, and a bowl of roasted vegetables drizzled with tahini sauce. As general background, tahini is commonly described as a Middle Eastern condiment made from ground sesame seeds that can be served as a dip, made into a dressing, or used in hummus, baba ghanoush and halva. A carton this size typically serves shawarma shops, hummus kitchens and caterers rather than home cooks. Commonly, kitchens stir the paste well because the oil rises, then whisk it with lemon juice, garlic and cold water into tarator for shawarma and falafel. It also goes into moutabal, salad dressings and tahini cookies. A bulk pack also cuts down on the number of small jars a busy kitchen has to open and wash each week. Keep the carton off the floor, in a cool dry spot away from the ovens.
