Eden Organic Gomasio

Every month Eden Foods puts out an email newsletter highlighting a different product. It also contains organic news bits, recommended books, a recipe, and a discount offer.

This month features Gomasio.

Gomasio is a condiment made by dry roasting sesame seeds in a skillet and grinding them with sea salt. When the hot sesame is combined and ground with salt, the seed’s oil melts and coats the salt, mellowing it so you get smooth full-flavor and yet consume less salt. Today, sesame is recognized as one of the most concentrated sources of important nutrients including essential fatty acids, calcium, iron, and high quality protein with amino acids such as methionine, tryptophan and lysine that are often missing in other vegetable protein sources.

Eden offers Gomasio in 5 different varieties: Black & Tan, Black, Garlic, Seaweed, and Regular. It’s been said to be good on baked potatoes, salads, vegetables, and popcorn, but my favorite application is Garlic Gomasio on some spicy noodles!
