Tahini (sesame paste) for Vegans
17g protein per 100g · Incomplete
Strong pick
Plant-based eaters need slightly more protein and should mix sources to cover all essential amino acids. Soy, legumes + grains, and pea/rice blends do the job.

Why it works for vegans
For a vegan diet, look for plant-only sources with strong amino profiles when combined. Tahini (sesame paste) checks those boxes — ground sesame — base of hummus, baba ghanoush, halva.
