You can make your own from ground toasted sesame seeds. I've never seen the powder. I buy mine in a jar and it is like peanut butter. I love to mix it with miso and use it as a spread on toast...I was looking up tahini onlne and they sell several type on Amazon. I was reading the reviews and this one person said that when they got it they were surprised that it wasn't tahini, but a powder and you had to mix it. What were they talking about? Doesn't it come ready to use, except for mixing the oil into it?
I couldn't find the tahini, but at the checkout line they said they had it.
I'll be back Saturday, so I'll pick up some then. I'm on my way to making my own hummus.
Turn the jar of tahini upside down and leave it that way for at least a few hours. The stuff separates, with oil floating on top and hard stuff under it. Turning it upside down helps to mix and soften it.
I never liked chick peas plain, but I sure do like hummus!
Every so often I will buy a can of chick peas and eat them like a snack. I rinse them first though.
I buy them by the case, once a month and eat them after rinsing. Sometimes I remember to put tomatoes in with them.
Every month I buy a cluster of tomatoes just for eating. Right now I am cutting one up to add to my beets and other veggies with HV salad dressing. Chick peas and tomato. Hmmmm. Thanks. Found another way to use them. Chick peas go on next month's list.
Rinse the chickpeas, add in a can of diced tomatoes and chill. Lots of pepper! Yummy, it's hard for me to stop eating them.
We couldn't find it either, but my husband asked the mgr and he took us right to it. It was in the aisle near the salad dressings, on a shelf with jars of grape leaves and capers. I would never have found it on my own. I think it was around $7 for a 16 oz jar. I will be making a lot of hummus because my daughter and daughter in law are going to be wanting some, so I can easily use this size jar. The first time I made it I made it without the tahini and they all loved it, but I want it to be authentic. I noticed that tanini is very high fat, but It must be good fat because it only listed 3.5 gm of sat fat out of a total of 23 gm.

Actually, I never did ask Giant Eagle where it was.
I was standing in Wegmans last week waiting for something at the counter, turned, and there it was, right at the end of the aisle across from me
That salad looks yummy. I think I will have to give this a try.Every time I take inventory on my basement shelves I think "no more chickpeas!" Then when canned legumes are on sale I forget and...bring home more chickpeas. I keep meaning to write down what else I need to make Balela salad so I buy the right ingredients to make it at home. OTOH, after looking at that recipe I might be golden! All I need are black beans and I usually have at least one can on hand. Had Trader Joe's Balela once and loved it, but not enough to spend over $3 for a half-pint container.
