The product, in detail
Tahini
Ground until the seed pours
Sesame grown chemical-free in Mozambique, lightly roasted and stone-ground into a butter. One ingredient and no oil added — which is why it separates in the jar, and why stirring it is part of using it.
The seed
Grown in Mozambique, roasted light
Sesame is one of the oldest oilseeds there is, and about half of what is inside the seed is oil. That is the only reason something this small can be ground into something that pours — no liquid is added at any point, and the paste is held together by what the seed already had in it.
FeedmeGreen source theirs from Mozambique and say it is grown chemical-free. It is roasted before it is ground, and lightly: enough to bring the smell up, not enough to darken it. That is where the colour of the jar comes from.
The grind
Stone-ground, and nothing added
Stone grinding is the slow way. Two stones turning against one another break the seed down by pressure rather than by speed, and the seed's own oil carries the rest of it into a paste as they go. It takes as long as it takes, and what comes off the stones is smooth without having been thinned.
Nothing goes in alongside. No palm oil to hold it together, no sunflower oil to loosen it, no emulsifier, no salt, no sugar. The ingredients line reads "lightly roasted 100% sesame seeds, no oils added", and that is the whole of it.
That has a consequence you meet in the jar. Oil that was never emulsified rises, so a jar that has stood on a shelf a while separates: a paler, looser layer at the top and a denser one beneath. That is the paste behaving correctly and not a fault, and it is fixed with a spoon.
In the kitchen
Stir it, then thin it
Stir first, all the way down to the bottom of the jar, until the oil is back through the paste — a long-handled spoon or a butter knife does it. Once it is through it stays through for a good while, and it stirs back just as easily the next time.
Then the part that catches people out: tahini seizes before it loosens. Add water and it thickens, stiffens and looks ruined. Keep going, a spoonful at a time, and it turns the other way and slackens into something pale and pourable. That is the whole trick behind every tahini sauce, and it only works if you carry on past the point where it looks wrong.
FeedmeGreen's own suggestions are a teaspoon over almost anything, a dressing whisked up with olive oil, garlic and cider vinegar, and a drizzle over fresh figs cut in half. It goes on the sweet side of a kitchen as readily as the savoury one.

What's inside
By weight, per jar
Every size
per jar- Sesame seeds · lightly roasted, grown chemical-free in Mozambique100%
The ingredients line in full: "Lightly roasted 100% sesame seeds. No oils added." Sesame is the only thing in the jar, which also makes it the only allergen in it. FeedmeGreen describe it as rich in protein, minerals and fats. Every size holds the same paste — a larger jar is more of it, not a different one.
Before you start
Allergens, and how to keep it
This is food rather than a preparation, and the thing worth checking is what is in it. The ingredients are listed in full above — no blend, no flavouring and nothing undeclared.
Talk to someone first if:
- You have a nut, seed or sesame allergy — check the ingredients above before ordering
- It is shipped and stored at room temperature unless the label says otherwise
- Cold-pressed and unrefined foods separate or firm up; that is the food, not a fault
- You are buying for someone whose allergies you are not sure of
Shared equipment
Our pantry is packed by hand in one room alongside nuts, seeds and cacao. We cannot promise a line free of any of them, so if an allergy is severe, please ask us before you order rather than after.
Not sure? Email support@cosmicbazaar.com before you order — we would rather answer questions than take a sale someone regrets.
Our guarantee
If it isn't right, we make it right
Replace it, refund it, or talk it through — whichever leaves you better off. Reach us at support@cosmicbazaar.com and a person answers.
