Ingredient Benefits

Firm Tofu
The creamy, protein-rich base of the spread. Tofu offers all nine essential amino acids and is rich in iron and calcium. It blends beautifully, absorbing the surrounding flavors while adding structure and silkiness.

Lemon Juice
Adds a bright, tangy zing that balances the richness of the tahini and oil. It's packed with vitamin C and acts as a natural preservative and flavor enhancer.

Tahini
A luxurious sesame paste that adds depth, creaminess, and a dose of healthy fats, calcium, and plant-based iron. It brings a subtle nuttiness that rounds out the flavor beautifully.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Enhances the spread’s richness while delivering heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It helps emulsify the mix for an ultra-smooth texture.

Salt
A flavor amplifier that ties everything together. It brings out the savory notes and balances the sweetness and acidity.

Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Bursting with intense, concentrated flavor, they provide a bold, umami-packed punch. Rich in lycopene and antioxidants, they add a savory-sweet complexity that makes this spread irresistible.
