If you love the aroma of toasty sesame seeds and the oceanic saltiness of seaweed, you might soon find this seasoning blend gracing your dinner table nightly. With just a flick of the wrist, this delicious combination of flavors adds a nutritive boost and subtle richness to just about any savory recipe.
Plus, it can be a wonderful substitute for plain table salt, or you can customize it with other herbs and spices for your desired effect and flavor.
Gomasio or "gomashio" is a seasoning blend commonly sprinkled on simple rice dishes in Japan. The word means "salt and pepper," as in someone who is handsomely graying, but also for the traditional combination of black sesame seeds and white sea salt.
In this re-imagined recipe, we've used toasted white sesame seeds along with hemp seeds, milk thistle seeds, and a touch of mineral dense Himalayan pink salt, but there are so many other possibilities to explore. We'd love to hear if you create a combination that is particularly delicious!

Optional Additional Ingredients (organic whenever possible, of course!)
