non-pasteurized sesame paste that is ground out of unhulled sesame seeds in a traditional stone mill. It has a source of healthy fat that is rich in Omega 3, iron, calcium, protein magnesium and is cholesterol free. This Tahini surpasses 120 degrees during processing for a very short period of time, therefore, while it is not 'toasted' sesame seeds that are used, it is still not considered a raw food.
