The benefits of gomasio and how to use it

Les bienfaits du gomasio et comment l’utiliser

In Japanese cuisine, there is a subtle seasoning that is full of charater: the gomasio.

At Emile Noël , we love this simple and authentic condiment, made from toasted sesame seeds and sea salt. A duo that transforms everything on the plate.

What is gomasio?

The word “gomasio” comes from Japanese: goma means sesame and shio means salt.

This is a traditional blend of toasted sesame seeds crushed with salt.

The result: a fine, fragrant powder that provides both the crunch of sesame and the subtlety of salt.

Unlike regular salt, gomasio does not overwhelm the palate: it gently enhances flavors.

The benefits of gomasio

Gomasio isn't just delicious, it's also good for your health.

Less salt: as sesame dominates the mixture, one naturally reduces one's sodium intake.
Nutritional richness: Sesame seeds are full of minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc).
Essential fatty acids: they contain omega 6 which are beneficial for the heart and vitality.
Digestibility: grinding the seeds facilitates the assimilation of nutrients.

So it's a clever seasoning which combines gustatory pleasure and nutritional balance.

How to use gomasio in cooking?

Gomasio is incredibly versatile. Just a pinch is enough to transform your everyday dishes:

Sprinkled on a crunchy salad to replace salt.
On grilled vegetables or steamed potatoes, for a gourmet seasoning.
On a bowl of rice or pasta, in the Japanese style.
In a soup, a creamy soup or even a sliced avocado to enhance the flavors.
Mixed into a homemade vinaigrette made with Émile Noël sesame oil, to accentuate the toasty notes.
