Green Hills Foods Gomasio is a combination of organic roasted sesame seed, dulse sea weed and Himalayan salt. The word Gomasio literally means “sesame salt”. Goma means sesame and shio means salt. Gomasio is hands down one of my favorite condiments, especially in the winter months. In addition to adding depth of flavor, it also brings a bit of texture and a little boost of calcium from the sesame seeds, to whatever food you add it to. We have added dulse sea weed to increase the mineral content of the product such as iodine.
Traditionally, this condiment is used in lieu of salt in macrobiotic and Japanese food practices and is thought to improve digestion and improve the assimilation of your food. You can sprinkle this nutty, slightly salty, earthy condiment on grains, sautéed vegetables, roasted squash, even over buttered toast.
