Directions
Gomashio (Toasted Sesame Salt),I have been making this for years and it is my husband’s favorite seasoning! Great over brown rice! Gomashio is a macrobiotic seasoning and is said to de-acidify the blood. Eating too much acidic foods is said to cause many diseases. Gomashio is said to strengthen digestion and improve energy immediately. It is claimed to be healing for all blood related diseases, including diabetes and cancer. I don’t know too much about that, but it is delicious and we eat it all the time! I find the unhulled sesame seeds at the health food store.,Excellent. Loved it with the first spoonful.About to make it again.,I take jalapenos sliced and lightly coated with olive oil and sprinkle with this sesame salt. Then grill in a pan till softened. Ranch dressing with sour cream and and you have a great appetizer.
