DESCRIPTION

Gomasio ('goma' is the Japanese word for 'sesame'). Gomasio is one flavor powerhouse, and used as a replacement for salt on whole grains (brown rice!), soups, stews, vegetables, seasoning for salads and raw vegetables. It's a delicious way to reduce sodium, while adding a little calcium, magnesium, iron, protein, and fiber. Gomasio is a mix of sesame seeds and unrefined sea salt, slightly roasted separately and then ground together. The seeds are remarkable for its resistance to oxidation and rancidity, which results from high levels of antioxidant phenolic compounds (lignans), some vitamin E, and products of the browning reactions that occur during the more thorough roasting. Each small grain of salt is thus covered with the oil of the sesame seeds. A healthy and tasty seasoning with much less sodium than pure salt. Sesame is said to stimulate intellectual activity and memory... It is in any case certain that, thanks to its high phosphorus, lecithin and unsaturated fat content, it has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. Calcium needs magnesium in order to be more easily fixed to the bone tissue by our organism. Thanks to the combination of sesame (rich in calcium) and salt (rich in magnesium), makes a valuable seasoning. Its high antioxidant and vitamin E content protect it against oxidation.
