I love corn on the cob and your captures of it with all the dressings look so so so appetizing.
I don't eat butter ~ I do manage to make other dressings with tahini, nut butters and coconut oil ~ But it's not quite the same somehow.

Thank you, I think using any topping would be awesome, I have never had tahini, will have to see what that is about.

Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds and is one of the main ingredients of hummus.
Best way to make hummus is to soak the chickpeas over night. Let them sprout for a few days and then blend. The add all the other usual ingredients to taste: Spanish onion (finely cut and soaked in lemon juice so you can still have the onion raw) garlic and herbs and the tahini.
Best tahinis are the unhulled ones. You can actually get one made from the black sesame seeds.
Most recipes for hummus say to cook the chick peas, but having them raw/sprouted gives so much more nutritional benefit. 🐋💖🐋

Thank you for that info, I love humus too. I imagine sprouting the peas is loaded with life giving nutrients, I will have to give this a go as I love sesame seeds too. Again, thanks.

YES. Sprouted chick peas are so HIGHLY beneficial. Good protein source for vegans and low on the glycemic index. Said to be an excellent cancer preventative ~ Along with broccoli seed sprouts.
