I try to go organic when making hummus. Kevala tahini has a great flavor and the large size lasts me a month. In addition a light drizzle of tahini on my salad or mixed in with a homemade dressing provides some creamy richness and flavor.

Go blanched and beat the proteins in the skin that disrupt your gut biome. I also like Wilderness Poets whole blanched almonds for nut milk, nut butter (use your food processor and add some coconut oil and salt), and for just plain snacking.
