KETO VERDICTMODERATE

Tahini can fit keto as a measured ingredient: the reference is 11.9g net carbs per 100 g. A 15 g portion contributes about 1.8g within a 20–25 g daily budget before lemon juice or other sauce ingredients. Use a weight for the paste rather than treating every spoonful as identical.

HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO

  • Check whether the jar contains plain sesame paste or a ready-made tahini sauce. A pourable dressing can include water, sweeteners and other ingredients absent from the paste reference.
  • Stir the product according to its instructions before measuring if the oil has separated. A spoon from only the oil layer is not a representative spoon of the whole paste.
  • For a dressing, record tahini before thinning it with water and other ingredients. Diluting it changes the sauce weight without reducing the amount of paste used.

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

BUILD A SMALL SAUCE

Weigh tahini into a bowl, then add the planned liquid and seasonings. Divide the completed sauce among servings and count any juice or sweetened ingredient separately.

Better keto swaps

  • Almond Butter — 8.5g net carbs per 100 g (estimate). A nut-butter base for a sauce when almond flavor is suitable; thin and season it as a different recipe, with its own allergen considerations.
  • Greek Yogurt (Full Fat) — 4g net carbs per 100 g (estimate). For a creamy dressing, plain yogurt offers a tangier base. It changes both flavor and ingredients rather than reproducing sesame paste.
