Why is it so important to have peanut butter? Tahini (paste from
ground sesame seeds) is much healhier choice! It has more calsium and
magnesium and doesn't contain aflatoxins (fungus toxic to liver) like
peanut butter does. You can spread tahini on your sandwhiches or you
can make a tasty salad dressing by adding water, few drops of soy
sauce and some garlic.
