Outstanding results!
I roasted unhulled organic sesame seeds, cooled the seeds to a warm temperature and ground them in my Vitamix for an outstanding tahini. Rich in flavor and smooth as silk.
We can buy small scale of baking powder. The problem is there is no expiration date. Your tip will a good help. Thanks to that. I also bought ready toasted sesame seeds. Sometimes it smells old oil. So much thanks for the two tips which I isually used for my cooking
