Mounir Bissat tahina in a 350 g white tub with a red lid, a sesame paste for hummus, tahini sauce and dressings in Arabic and Mediterranean kitchens.
Mounir Bissat tahina comes in a white plastic tub with a red screw lid. The green front label carries the brand name in Arabic on a red panel with a white bird, the word tahina in Arabic and Tahina in English, and a picture of a bowl of tahini with bread and vegetables. The lower part of the label reads Net wt, Poids Net, 350 g, 0.77 lb. Lifestyle photos show the tub on a stone kitchen counter beside a bowl of tahini sauce being whisked with lemon halves and garlic cloves, and on a wooden table with bowls of hummus topped with oil and paprika, a dip scattered with pomegranate seeds, falafel, salad and flatbread. As general background, tahini is a Middle Eastern condiment made from ground sesame seeds, served by itself, made into a salad dressing, or used as a major ingredient in hummus, baba ghanoush, or halva. Commonly, stir the paste well before use, as the oil can separate.
