Why are sesame seeds high in magnesium but tahini isn’t?

Quick searches show toasted sesame seeds have about 350mg of magnesium per 100 grams. But tahini, which is almost only made of sesame seeds only has about 85mg per 100 grams. Something seems wrong to me. Anybody have any knowledge on this?

Answer

I guess it would depend on the ingredients of the Tahini you’re seeing. Not all tahini is just ground sesame seeds. Some add lemon juice, garlic…..that would dilute the profile.

EDIT: And the density of ground seeds is much higher than loose natural state seeds.
