What's the difference between hulled & unhulled tahini?

Hulled means the hull has been removed from the seed and unfortunately stripped of many nutrients particularly calcium, magnesium and zinc. They do differ in flavour with the unhulled version being more intense and sometimes slightly bitter depending on the brand. If you can handle the bitter flavour, I recommend you go for the unhulled version.
