LEXINGTON BAKES & Seed+MIll

Meet Seed+Mill: Our Tahini Partner

Our ingredient standards are simple. Real, Organic, & Fair.

When sourcing ingredients for our luxury cookies and brownies, we thoroughly evaluate ingredient partners' standards, ethics, and commitment to people and the planet to ensure they align with our mission and values.

Seed+Mill is our exclusive tahini partner, and the hero of our luxury vegan cookies & brownies. If you’ve ever tasted the rich, nutty flavor of sesame in our vegan baked goods, you’ve experienced the magic of their tahini—a silky, nutrient-packed paste made from sesame seeds that transforms everything it touches.

Seed+Mill is more than just an ingredient partner; they are pioneers in celebrating sesame’s potential to connect, nourish, and inspire.

The Seed+Mill Journey

Seed+Mill was born in the heart of New York City in 2016, when three women from different corners of the globe—Lisa from Israel, Rachel from Australia, and Monica from the USA—found common ground in a shared love of food. Each brought their unique background and passion for nourishing their families with healthy, high-quality ingredients.

Their mission? To introduce the world to the beauty of sesame products, rooted in centuries of tradition yet brimming with modern versatility.

Starting as a humble kiosk in the vibrant Chelsea Market, Seed+Mill quickly became the go-to spot for tahini, halva, and other sesame delights. They weren’t just selling ingredients; they were creating connections. Locals and tourists alike flocked to their counter to experience nostalgic flavors reimagined—like halva paninis, freshly ground tahini, and their famous tahini soft serve.

Today, Seed+Mill’s influence extends far beyond Chelsea Market. Their products are adored by chefs, home cooks, and adventurous eaters nationwide, available in grocery stores, specialty shops, and on restaurant menus.

Lexington Bakes X Seed+Mill

At LEXINGTON BAKES, we believe in using ingredients that are as wholesome and flavorful as they are meaningful. Seed+Mill embodies these values.

• Unmatched Quality: Seed+Mill’s tahini is made from the finest sesame seeds, meticulously selected and roasted to perfection. The result is a creamy, nutty tahini with a flavor profile that’s both rich and nuanced—perfect for adding depth to our cookies and brownies.
• Commitment to Community: From their beginnings in Chelsea Market to their global presence today, Seed+Mill’s dedication to fostering connections through food resonates deeply with our own philosophy. Every jar of tahini they produce carries a story of tradition, innovation, and love.
• Health and Versatility: Sesame seeds are naturally rich in protein, calcium, and healthy fats, making tahini a nutrient-dense addition to our recipes. Beyond its health benefits, its versatility allows us to create everything from tahini-infused cookie dough to swirls of sesame goodness in our brownies.

Rachel’s Vision: Food as a Bridge

At the helm of Seed+Mill is Rachel, a former media lawyer turned food entrepreneur. Her journey from Sydney to New York embodies the spirit of curiosity and connection that defines the brand. “The history of food, its culture and migration, as well as its ability to bring people together over a diverse and lively table is why I love what I do,” she says.

Rachel’s perspective aligns perfectly with our mission at LEXINGTON BAKES: to craft baked goods that not only taste incredible but also tell a story—one of shared values, global traditions, and the simple joy of eating well.
