Product Review

Our organic toasted sesame salt with garlic is a blend of toasted sesame seeds, garlic and coarse Celtic Sea Salt that you grind fresh over your food. Toasted sesame salt, also called gomasio, offers all the benefits of sesame, which is high in calcium, iron, and manganese. Sesame also contains health-promoting fibers called lignans, which have been shown to prevent high blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and strengthen the liver. It also had the added benefit of garlic, which has widely known anti-bacterial properties. Happily, sodium-sensitive individuals who use our organic toasted sesame salt in place of pure salt find that they are able to reduce their sodium intake without sacrificing taste. The fresh-roasted sesame seeds are certified organic and kosher, and combined with premium quality high-mineral sea salt and garlic. This "whole seed" nutrition comes in a convenient package with a built-in grinder. We offer the product in an original blend, as well another blend containing flax. Dozens of brands of gomasios can be found in health food stores, some offering blends containing seaweed, peppercorns, and other spices. However, many consumers have avoided these products because the ground sesame goes rancid quickly. Sesame, like flax and other seeds rich in fatty acids, is prone to rancidity once the hull has been cracked. Rancidity doesn't just alter the taste of these products, it also increases the likelihood that the oils will oxidize and create dangerous free radicals in the body. These issues put toasted sesame salt out of reach as an everyday condiment for most home cooks, who simply don't have the time to make it freshly-ground before each meal. With our organic toasted sesame salts, everyone can enjoy this fresh seasoning on every meal.
