Japanese Gomashio

Ingredients: Roasted White Sesame Seeds, Roasted Black Sesame Seeds, Sel Gris Sea Salt Description: Tasty, crunchy and nutritious, this roasted sesame salt is a staple seasoning for macrobiotic cooking. Try it sprinkled over a bowl of brown rice with vegetables; keep it at table and in the kitchen for a lower-sodium alternative to plain salt. Gomashio is also a superb addition to hoisin-glazed fish. Sesame seeds are rich in antioxidants, fiber, omega-6 fatty acids and other phytonutrients, and roasting the seeds brings out a nutty flavor that enhances all kinds of Asian and vegetable dishes.
