I Have This Can of Tahini...

[Andy M.]

It's been in the fridge for a LONG time. It looks and smells like it should. Any thoughts?

Please don't respond with, "When in doubt, throw it out."

I have found that when oils have gone rancid, you can tell pretty quickly when you heat them up. Put a little in a saucepan, warm it up and see if you notice anything.

As I only use a tbs or two at a time of Tahini, mine has been in the fridge probably longer than Ive been alive, and Ive had no issues. I just give it the good old sniff test, then a good mixing cause it seems to settle, then the taste test.

Im actually making hummus sometime tonight, so I'll have to check mine out again by the above method.

Thanks GG and Larry.

If it smells and tastes right, I'd use it.

Thanks for this thread. I've got about half of a 16 oz jar in the fridge. Expiration date is May 2016 but I'm not throwing it out.
Keep forgetting to buy garbanzos.

That was the original plan, Charlie. Before I made it, I wanted confirmation it was good to go.

Make Halva chocolate paste or just make halva.

SO made some roasted red pepper hummus yesterday. It tasted fine.

Yummy, I love hummus with roasted red peppers!

The solids in the tahini can were pretty thick/hard with oil on top. SO tried to mix it up but I just suggested putting the thick stuff into the FP then adding some of the oil and letting the FP do the work. That seemed to work.
