class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Almond butter<\/strong> is made by grinding almonds into a smooth, creamy paste. It has a mildly nutty flavor and can range from crunchy to smooth in texture. Almond <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/butter-vs-cheese-vs-ghee\/\">butter<\/a> has grown increasingly popular in recent years as a plant-based alternative to <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/almond-butter-vs-peanut-butter\/\">peanut butter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/how-to\/packages\/food-network-essentials\/what-is-tahini\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/how-to\/packages\/food-network-essentials\/what-is-tahini\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tahini<\/a> is a paste made from ground sesame seeds that has been used in Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries. It has a more pronounced nutty, earthy taste compared to almond butter. Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus but can also be used on its own as a spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both spreads are plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free. Let's take a closer look at how they differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutritional_Profile_Almonds_vs_Sesame_Seeds\"><\/span>Nutritional Profile: Almonds vs. Sesame Seeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since almond butter and tahini come from different base ingredients, their nutritional profiles vary significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Almonds<\/strong> are rich in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Vitamin E - An antioxidant that protects cells from damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magnesium - Supports nerve, muscle, and bone health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fiber - Improves digestion and heart health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protein - Important for building and repairing tissues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sesame seeds<\/strong> are high in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sesame-Seeds.jpeg\" alt=\"Sesame Seeds\" class=\"wp-image-56222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sesame-Seeds.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sesame-Seeds-768x403.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Copper - Helps form red blood cells and bones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calcium - Essential for bone health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iron - Transports oxygen in the blood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zinc - Boosts immunity and wound healing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So while both provide important nutrients, <strong>almonds offer more vitamin E and magnesium, while sesame seeds provide more calcium, iron, and zinc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calories_and_Fat_Content\"><\/span>Calories and Fat Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing <strong>calories and fat<\/strong> in almond butter and tahini, almond butter tends to be higher in both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's the breakdown per 2 tablespoons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Almond butter: 200 calories, 18g fat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tahini: 178 calories, 16g fat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So Tahini has the edge if you're looking for a lower calorie, lower fat option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the fats found in both are primarily heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Almond butter offers more monounsaturated fat, while tahini provides more polyunsaturated fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protein_Content\"><\/span>Protein Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Almond butter wins when it comes to <strong>protein content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 tablespoons of almond butter has about 8g of protein compared to 4g in tahini. So almond butter can help keep you fuller for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're looking to add plant-based protein to smoothies, <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/almond-butter-overnight-oats-recipe\/\">overnight oats<\/a>, or snacks, almond butter is the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carbohydrates\"><\/span>Carbohydrates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carb content<\/strong> is fairly similar between the two spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per 2 tablespoons, almond butter has 8g of carbs and 7g of fiber compared to 10g of carbs and 4g of fiber in tahini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in terms of net carbs, almond butter comes out slightly lower at just 1g versus 6g in tahini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamins_and_Minerals\"><\/span>Vitamins and Minerals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, <strong>almond butter<\/strong> offers more vitamin E and magnesium compared to tahini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But tahini contains more iron, calcium, zinc, and copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you're looking to increase calcium and iron intake in particular, tahini has the advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flavor_and_Texture\"><\/span>Flavor and Texture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some clear differences when it comes to <strong>flavor and texture<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Almond butter<\/strong>&nbsp;- Mildly nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Smooth and creamy texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tahini<\/strong>&nbsp;- Strong earthy, sesame flavor. Slightly thick and dense texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you prefer a nuttier, bolder flavor, tahini is the way to go. For something more mild and sweet, choose almond butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almond butter also tends to be easier to spread compared to the dense <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/almond-butter-substitutes\/\">tahini paste<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_and_Convenience\"><\/span>Cost and Convenience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tahini tends to be more affordable<\/strong> than almond butter. You can often find large tubs of tahini for under $10, while almond butter costs $12-$15 on average for a smaller jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both spreads can be found at most major grocery stores, so <strong>convenience<\/strong> and availability are similar. Natural food stores will offer a wider selection of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making your own at home is easy for both. But almond butter requires just 2 ingredients - almonds and salt - compared to 3 for tahini - sesame seeds, oil, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_in_Cooking_and_Baking\"><\/span>Uses in Cooking and Baking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to uses in the kitchen, both almond butter and tahini are versatile ingredients.
