Are you looking for a healthy, tasty, mineral rich addition to your meals?
You must try Gomasio!
Gomasio is a Japanese condiment made from TWO ingredients only! Unhulled sesame seeds and natural sea salt.
Now….teeny tiny sesame seeds are a very potent food! They are rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, Vitamin B1, and fiber.
Just a quarter cup of whole sesame seeds provides more calcium than a cup of milk. Now, it’s hard to eat that much in one meal- but just adding sesame seeds into your diet is a healthful boost.
Sesame seeds are great for
👍 bones (sesame seeds made the list of ‘Foundation Foods’ in an Osteoporosis Reversal Program)
👍 heart (helps lower cholesterol & prevent high blood pressure)
👍 female hormones (PMS and fertility, especially 😋)
👍 reducing inflammation

1 c. unhulled sesame seeds (the darker ones, which have more nutrients and are closer to their natural state.
1 TBS good quality sea salt or mineral salt.
