SC - Tahini/Sesame Butter

[Alderton, Philippa]

Well, I am leaving in a few minutes to go donate blood for the mother of
a friend in dire need, so I don't have time right now to check out other
sources.  But, the "Nutrition Almanac" is still sitting here next to the
computer, and looking at it again, the listing for sesame is thus:
Sesame 1T = 13.6 grams (weight) .  The total of 13.6 grams of total fats
seems to say that there is nothing but fat in a (hulled) sesame seed.  
 
for Tahini, it is thus:

Tahini (sesame butter) 1T= 15.0 grams (weight) .  Total fats are 8.1
grams, (other pertinent info included on previous post).  This would lead
us to assume that the hulls make up the rest of the weight, as well as
the whole nutrient content of the product, outside of the fats.  Hmm.
Well, when time allows, I will look further into this matter.  

Until then, please pray for the mother of my former protege (now a
Pelican in her own right) and for me not fainting dead away after
donating blood in this heat!
