Gomashio sesame salt

Japan's sesame salt with taste and health

ORIGIN AND DESCRIPTION

Gomashio, a traditional Japanese seasoning blend, combines the nutty flavors of roasted black sesame seeds (19.8%) with fine sea salt. The name is derived from the Japanese words "goma" (sesame) and "shio" (salt). This blend is an integral part of Japanese cuisine and lends a characteristic flavor to many dishes.

TASTE AND AROMA

Nutty, slightly salty, with a subtle depth from the roasted black sesame.

APPLICATION

Gomashio is incredibly versatile and is traditionally used as a seasoning for sushi, udon noodles, fish, meat, seaweed, and vegetables. Sprinkle it over rice dishes, use it as a topping for salads, or as a finishing touch for roasted vegetables. It's also a healthier alternative to pure salt, as the sesame seeds contribute much of the flavor.

HEALTH BENEFITS

The mixture offers a number of health benefits. Sesame is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, iron, and B vitamins, making gomashio a nutrient-dense addition. It helps reduce salt intake without compromising taste and supports a balanced diet.
