Samythos Tahini: Meet the Producer
Do you love tahini as much as I do? It is one of the most nutritious ingredients in the Mediterranean Diet, an excellent source of copper and selenium, important for immunity boosting and more. It’s also delicious, of course, and Samythos, which you can find online, is special: Passionate artisan Thanassis Polyzoidis produces dark, nutty cold-pressed tahini from organic unhulled sesame seeds, which he grows in what was traditionally the sesame basket of Northern Greece. Guest writer Diana Farr Louis talked to Polyzoidis about why tahini is his life’s work.
