About Us
Growing up in a culinary environment, I was led to have a fascination for our foods heritage. My mom and dad, May and Sal Daklala had a Bakery, Restaurant and cookbook before she passed away in 2001.While on a trip to the motherland in 2020 a lightbulb went off and I had an idea that changed it all. Secret Foods was then created as an homage to my Lebanese parents and passion for clean, quality, natural foods. I then spent the year developing my recipes in preparation for launch in March 2021. Since, Secret Foods has expanded across Canada and is in over 400 stores nationwide.

What is Tahini?
Tahini is a sesame-based condiment with a rich and varied history dating back thousands of years. This Eastern Mediterranean staple is made by grinding freshly toasted sesame seeds into a silky, smooth butter. The end result is a product with a delightfully ‘nutty’ flavour, packed full of healthy fats, protein and nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin B and vitamin E. Sesame seeds are grown in the pods of the sesamum plant, a species native to Sub-Saharan Africa known for its deep green leaves and beautiful, bell-shaped pink or white flowers. The low water requirements of the sesame plant make it an excellent choice for sustainable food systems.
