Which Grocery Store Aisle Is Tahini In?
First, look in the condiment aisle of your grocery store for tahini. It may be in a glass jar or a small tub sitting by the olives and pimientos.
Tahini is sometimes grouped with the nut butters, so check that aisle next. Try the organic section of the aisle, but if the store has a separate aisle for natural foods, check there, too.
The next stop is the international aisle. If there's a section with Middle Eastern items, you can probably head there directly.
If you happen to be in a store that sells raw tahini, it might be located in a refrigerator. But if you're just not having any luck, our store guide below will help you out...
