Taheen

Taheen is a healthy treat sold here. This road-side stand carried taheen, ground sesame seeds, grape syrup and an assortment of nuts.

Taheen is a good peanut butter substitute. The locals pour a little grape syrup or date syrup in a saucer and then pour a layer of taheen across the top. Bread is broken off and dipped into it.

If I would let her, my daughter would live on taheen alone. It goes great with a cup of hot tea.
