However, I DID find KLP techina here in America. It was in the kosher
market's techina/chumus aisle, and one of the brands happened to be
from Israel, so it has a KLP hechsher. Ironically, the entire aisle
was sold on Pesach; obviously, its being KLP was entirely accidental.
If you don't dilute the techina, it tastes a lot like almond butter.

I would be interested in a further discussion on this.
