As difficult as the condition you described may be for food preservation, you have far greater chances with tahini than with hummus. When you make hummus, you must eat it right away or it will become sour in the space of a few hours. Tahini on the other hand will only become rancid after some time. Under the conditions you described, this time for tahini should be a number of weeks after you open the jar. In any case, it is easy to tell when something has gone rancid and it is time to feed the fish with it.lancas said:thanks for all the replies
I'll certainly have to give pbutter a try.
My question was prompted because I will be living on a sailboat in the tropics. (over 80 most of the time, and no air).I made the assumption that tahini would not keep well under these circumstances.
Maybe that's wrong, and it will keep well in the heat, in which case, I should probably be ok.
Another consideration on a boat, though, is that storage space is at a big premium, so if I can have a product do more than one job, it gets the space. As far as I know, there is not much else to do with tahini, is there?

You can also eat tahini straight or spread on bread alone or with honey. It is a very substantial food and very healthy too.
