Al Arz Tahini, Ground with Millstones, 100% Pure Sesame

About this product

The wellbeing score is 50%, which indicates a neutral impact for this product type, meaning it is neither strongly beneficial nor clearly detrimental to overall wellbeing. The safety score is 88%, reflecting a relatively high level of safety for consumption, with only minor risk factors noted.

The sole ingredient, sesame, supports the product’s goal as a food by providing a rich source of plant-based fats, protein, and minerals such as calcium and iron. Its millstone-ground texture also enhances versatility, making it easy to blend into dips, sauces, and spreads.

The primary concern is sesame allergy, which can be severe for sensitive individuals and is a known food allergen. Additional notes include very low acute toxicity and equivocal carcinogenicity data, but both are flagged as low-level concerns, meaning they pose minimal risk under normal dietary use.

Overall, this is a simple, single-ingredient product with a strong safety profile, though its neutral wellbeing score and allergy risk mean it suits most consumers but not those with sesame sensitivity.
