Lima Gomasio

A spice made from lightly toasted sesame seeds and Atlantic sea salt. Gomasio (goma is the Japanese word for sesame and sio is the Japanese word for salt) is a blend of sesame seeds and unrefined sea salt. The unrefined sesame seeds are lightly toasted separately and then ground together with the sea salt. Each tiny grain of salt is coated with the oil from the sesame seeds. It is a healthy and flavorful seasoning that has a lower sodium content than pure salt. Calcium requires magnesium to be more easily deposited in the bones by the body. By combining sesame (which is very rich in calcium) and salt (rich in magnesium), gomasio becomes a spice of invaluable worth.
