Any discussion on Mediterranean food is incomplete without the rich and creamy Tahini sauce. Irrespective of whether you love it with a piece of grilled meat or hot pita bread, Tahini sauce has great significance when it comes to healthy Mediterranean food.
What’s Tahini Sauce made from?

Well, all authentic restaurants, serving Mediterranean food, in San Diego will include Tahini sauce in their menu. Thus, you can’t really skip this must-have Mediterranean sauce if you want to enjoy your Kofta, kebabs or any other grilled delicacy.

Tahini sauce is made from a wholesome mixture of sesame paste, garlic, cumin, water, and lemon juice. The best thing is that you can change the texture of this sauce by adjusting the water content as per your liking. If you love the creamy texture of the Tahini sauce when it’s served as a dip or simply drizzled on grilled vegetables, salads, and grilled meat then you’re a true fan of this unique delicacy.

Apart from a mouth-watering taste, Tahini sauce is a healthy alternative to other sauces or dips. Mediterranean food is extremely healthy and Tahini sauce is no different. Let us find out about its numerous health benefits:

Why Tahini should feature in your daily diet?
This protein-rich creamy paste should feature permanently in your daily diet because even a spoonful of it can do wonders to your body. Tahini sauce has higher protein content than milk or nuts so even a dessertspoonful of it can make up for your body’s daily protein requirement.
Tahini sauce contains just the right amount of vitamin B, which boosts your brain function and provides it with energy to slog for longer hours. Vitamin E found in Tahini sauce can offer protection against stroke and heart disease. It even contains essential micronutrients like iron, calcium and magnesium.

Tahini sauce made from skinned seeds is often considered healthier because many people believe that husk is nutrient-rich. However, hulled or skinned sesame seed paste tastes bitter and stronger than it’s unhulled counterpart. Skinned or otherwise, Tahini sauce in all its forms is a tastier and healthier alternative to other dips or sauces.

If you wish to taste high-quality Tahini sauce then there’s no other place in San Diego than Aladdin Café. We believe that food must be equally tasty and healthy and that’s why we offer the healthiest Mediterranean food spread for our customers.

Come, experience the magic of authentic Mediterranean food at Aladdin Café, and don’t forget to ask for your Tahini dip.

At Aladdin Cafe, we love a good meal and enjoy seeing others savoring Middle Eastern food and vegan food. We also understand the benefits of eating healthy.

Managing a healthy diet isn’t about limiting food or staying thin. It’s balancing that pizza with foods that maximize energy, improve mood and minimize health risk. What we eat has a significant influence on not just our physical but our emotional and mental well being.

Healthy choices doesn’t necessarily mean giving up foods. It means being aware of what goes in our bodies. We know it’s not as easy as it sounds. We love to eat as much as the next guy. But we also think about healthy eating, such as adding one salad a day to our diet. You’ll find once you get in the habit of making healthy choices, you’ll see the results and be more conscious of making healthy choices.

Here are a few tips to help with that.

Get in the habit of reading labels. Manufacturers know most consumers don’t. Consumers have no idea of the huge amounts of sugar and unhealthy fats these companies put into packaged foods.
Eat more foods with fewer trans fats. It doesn’t always have to be fried chicken. From time to time, go with grilled fish seasoned to taste. Be aware of the refined carbs you ingest. These are infamous contributors to risks like heart disease and so many of us consume them beyond healthy boundaries.

We spend too much time concerned with calories, obsessively counting them to the decimal point so that we can eat a donut. We’ve come to believe that’s healthy, when truthfully, denying ourselves regular portions of food isn’t always the best option if you haven’t been advised by a doctor. Instead of counting calories, simply make healthier choices. Look at foods in terms of variety, freshness and color. Avoid processed and packaged foods.
This cannot be stressed enough: drink water. Water is natural and flushes the system of all the toxins and waste that otherwise gestate. Low energy, headaches and consistent lethargy can be symptoms of dehydration. On top of this, many people often see thirst as hunger and end up eating unnecessarily. If you find yourself hungry — especially if you’ve eaten within the last two hours — drink a glass of water and see if the desire passes.

Be aware of your mood after you eat. Consumption of junk food might feel satisfying, but it can drain you of energy and make you uncomfortable and nauseous. Healthy foods won’t do this. Aladdin Cafe is all about healthy, fresh and premium quality meals. Whenever you eat with us, you make a healthy choice.
