New Sesame King Tahini Offers Children and Adults a Safe Peanut Free and Tree Nut Free Eating Option

With peanut allergies affecting more than 3.3 million Americans, peanut allergies pose a significant health concern for both adults and children. Peanut allergy is now one of the "Big 8" food allergies in the United States and has become a major concern within school systems across America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies have increased 18% among children under the age of 18 years old.

As with people who suffer from Celiac Disease, finding safe and great tasting foods for the family is no easy task. But now, finding a food that is Peanut Free and Tree Nut Free and even Gluten Free has never been easier.

Introducing the new Sesame King Tahini. Sesame King Tahini paste comes in seven delicious flavors that include Roasted, Light Roasted, Olive Oil, Garlic, Cajun, Honey and Chocolate. Each flavor is rich in proteins and vitamins, made with no additives or preservatives, peanut free, tree nut free, Trans fat free, gluten free and Kosher Certified. Both the Roasted and Light Roasted Tahini flavors are Non-GMO verified.

"As a father of two children, knows how important it is for children to be eating foods that are not only healthy, but also safe and taste great," said Emile Maroun, Jr., General Manager of Sunshine International Foods. "Our mission has always been to make great tasting Tahini, but also provide consumers with a product that makes it easy to live a healthier lifestyle."

Sesame King Tahini pastes are made from 100% pure ground sesame seeds. The sesame seeds are shipped directly from the farms to their facility and are sifted, hulled, roasted and ground to perfection. Each Sesame King Tahini is all-natural, with a subtle, delightful aroma, rich with texture and delicious taste. Sesame King's parent company, Sunshine International Foods mechanically hulls its sesame seeds, meaning no chemicals or hulling agents are used during the manufacturing process.

Sesame King Tahini pastes provide consumers with a powerful nutritional food choice that packs a kaleidoscope of superior flavors and the following healthier inclusions:

• Tahini is richer in protein than milk, yogurt, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, soya, sunflower, wheat germ and pecan nuts.
• Tahini contains natural lecithin which reduces blood fat levels and provides protection from environmental pollutants such as nicotine.
• Tahini provides substantial amounts of many vitamins including Vitamin E, which slows the aging of body cells and helps maintain proper focusing of the eyes.
• Tahini is also one of the best sources of Vitamin T (very few foods are). Vitamin T improves memory and concentration in combination with Phosphorous also present in Tahini, providing a potent brain and nerve food.
