Did you know that sesame seeds are the peanut butter of Israel?
Well kind of.
Some children have sesame seed allergies.
Sesame seed paste – tahina (tahini) is popular on pita bread, like peanut butter was/is popular on sliced bread in the US (possibly in other Western nations?)
And finally, kids watch Sesame Street in Israel, Rachov Sumsum – instead of Peanut Street like kids watch here
