If you forget, a quick whizz in a mini food processor will do the trick.

The landscape is certainly a whole lot different now! I really liked the long and detailed explanation. I found it to be quite helpful. Hey Wendy, thanks for commenting! Frankly, I appreciate the detail and enjoyed reading it. Different strokes, I guess. Thanks, Lisa. I really appreciated the detail. Thanks for the wonderful explanation!
I have a — goodness knows how old jar of tahini — and was wondering if I should toss it out or use it. You did the digging for me and did an article! Hi, I have a can of Joyva Sesame Tahini and cannot find an expiration date anywhere. The only thing that it has is a 4 digit code on the lid.
That code is , which means nothing to me. How do I know if it is still good???? Do you know? I totally appreciate your in-depth description! Hard to believe people would give you a hard time about it. What a terrific article and VERY informative. Wish I had known about using the food processor to mix it together before 30 minutes of effort. My jar had no instructions about what to do after it was open so your information was very helpful. I thought this was an excellent article, and I appreciated the in-depth explanation.
I just finished a small mason jar sized batch of tahini that I made probably 2 years ago. It did not look like yours though. I just toasted the seeds then put them in a Breville Boss blender and it looked like nut butter, but dry. Was super tasty…. It helped me determine whether my canned Tahini was still good after years! Now on to making some tasty hummus…. Hope the hummus turned out well. I too enjoyed the post. Viewed 78k times.
I have a jar of organic tahini which expired one year ago. Is it safe to eat in large ammount? Improve this question. How far past the expiry are you at the moment? About one year. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Remember: bad odors indicate bad food.
Improve this answer. I've had the same giant can of peanut butter for over a year. I took it on a road trip for a month, and it has been sitting in my cupboard since.
As best I can tell, nothing bad has happened to it. Oh, I personally have kept peanut butter for much more than 3 months in the cupboard I'm sure the temperature, quality of product, whether or not there's preservatives, etc. Once it's been prepared i. Carmi Carmi It contains lots of unsaturated fats, which can go rancid if exposed to air, and will pick up 'fridge flavors'. This is mostly guesswork.
Proceed at your own risk I'd eat it. Adam Shiemke Adam Shiemke 5, 21 21 silver badges 43 43 bronze badges. Mike Yockey Mike Yockey 1, 10 10 silver badges 17 17 bronze badges. I'm fairly sure that bacteria can't live solely in oil. It lacks any moisture, which I suspect is necessary for bacterial growth. Nothing is completely void of moisture. Still, even without the bacteria it will oxidize since it is mostly fat. Also the existence of an expiration date itself suggests that the product may contain an ingredient that has a finite shelf life.
Lots of possibilities here, to which I reiterate that tahini is cheap. True why chance it? It usually comes with a Best By date, which is a rough estimation for how long the paste would remain fresh.
If stored properly, it can last you for months after the Best By date. The processed product has preservatives and stabilizers to ensure it lives longer, while organic tahini will have a comparatively shorter lifespan.
Some manufacturers will give a date of 2 years, while others will limit it to 6 months. The same goes for the period it will stay fresh for after you crack the seal open. Generally, an unopened bottle will last up to months in the pantry and 6 months to 1 year in the fridge. However, once you open it, the degradation process will accelerate because tahini is sensitive to temperature changes.
Thus, an opened bottle is likely to stay good for 2 months in the pantry and 6 months in the fridge. For homemade tahini, it is necessary to keep it cold as it contains no preservatives, so the mixture can go south very quickly.
It has a shorter storage life, so you should only keep the product for about months in the refrigerator. Like all food items, tahini can go bad. As we mentioned earlier, not storing it properly can spoil it. Heat and humidity play a key role here. If you put it near heat, it will quickly become unusable. Hygiene also contributes. Handling it with unwashed hands and utensils and keeping it in an unclean and loose container will spoil the paste quickly.
The mixture has lots of oil, so bacteria and mold growth will be difficult source , but if the storage conditions are unfavorable, your paste will go bad. If the oil begins to break down and you see anything suspicious, it is better to discard it and get a new batch. But how will you know the signs? Bad tahini is hard to miss. Use your sense of sight, smell and taste. Rancid odor emitting from the tahini should be your first clue, and its taste will be awful.
Furthermore, if it is really unstable, there will be mold present and you can see greenish-blue spots all over.
