You did the digging for me and did an article! Hi, I have a can of Joyva Sesame Tahini and cannot find an expiration date anywhere. The only thing that it has is a 4 digit code on the lid. That code is , which means nothing to me. How do I know if it is still good???? Do you know? I totally appreciate your in-depth description! Hard to believe people would give you a hard time about it.
What a terrific article and VERY informative. Wish I had known about using the food processor to mix it together before 30 minutes of effort. My jar had no instructions about what to do after it was open so your information was very helpful.
I thought this was an excellent article, and I appreciated the in-depth explanation. I just finished a small mason jar sized batch of tahini that I made probably 2 years ago. It did not look like yours though. I just toasted the seeds then put them in a Breville Boss blender and it looked like nut butter, but dry.
Was super tasty…. It helped me determine whether my canned Tahini was still good after years! Now on to making some tasty hummus…. Hope the hummus turned out well. I too enjoyed the post. Had no idea about expiration of tahini paste. Did the taste and smell test. My unopened Tahini was on shelf for several years. I just opened it and it separated, with the solid part very firmly in the bottom of the jar.
Any suggestions? No unsightly mold or smells, but I need it to blend back into the condition it should be in! I am eating four year old tahini as it was fine, no mold, oil covered the paste, smell and taste were good. I imagine I put it in the frig and it was only opened once for use. Nothing rancid or off color, nothing growing inside the jar, even the stuff above the oil line. Is it possible to explain this. No expiration date on the can. Have never seen tahini before, was not prepared to find it separated, considered getting the immersion blender out but did not want to have to clean that twice so patiently sat down with the can and a spoon and incorporated the oil.
Quite the job but accomplished eventually. Read these posts middle of the night when worry about proper storage of tahini woke me. I took it on a road trip for a month, and it has been sitting in my cupboard since. As best I can tell, nothing bad has happened to it. Oh, I personally have kept peanut butter for much more than 3 months in the cupboard I'm sure the temperature, quality of product, whether or not there's preservatives, etc.
Once it's been prepared i. Carmi Carmi It contains lots of unsaturated fats, which can go rancid if exposed to air, and will pick up 'fridge flavors'. This is mostly guesswork. Proceed at your own risk I'd eat it. Adam Shiemke Adam Shiemke 5, 21 21 silver badges 43 43 bronze badges. Mike Yockey Mike Yockey 1, 10 10 silver badges 17 17 bronze badges. I'm fairly sure that bacteria can't live solely in oil. It lacks any moisture, which I suspect is necessary for bacterial growth.
Nothing is completely void of moisture. Still, even without the bacteria it will oxidize since it is mostly fat. Also the existence of an expiration date itself suggests that the product may contain an ingredient that has a finite shelf life.
Lots of possibilities here, to which I reiterate that tahini is cheap. True why chance it? Thing is I really don't like to waste food and am curious if it's really unsafe. Fats spoil by rancidity. They will smell and taste bad long before they even if they really can become unsafe. See: cooking. That's advice I usually consider very unsafe.

Tahini is a paste that is produced from toasted and grounded sesame seeds. The seeds are usually soaked in salty water to help the sesame bran separate from the kernel and settle down. The seeds are then collected, toasted for enhanced flavor, and grounded with olive oil into a thick oily paste.
Tahini is chiefly used as a condiment in Middle-eastern dishes and desserts. It is sludge-like with a creamy and nutty texture, which helps enhance the taste of dips, stews, salads, and soups. You can easily prepare Tahini at home by soaking high-quality, fresh sesame seeds and toasting them later to prepare them for the grinding. Add a pinch of salt along with olive oil, and grind it to a nutty, creamy texture. Since Tahini consists mostly of oils, it prevents the growth of microbial organisms and can be consumed even after quite some time.
It may deteriorate in quality since oils tend to become rancid over time. This is also why Tahini comes with a best-by date than an expiration date to help gauge the freshness of the product. You can extend its freshness and quality with some smart storage ideas.
