Bali Buda Gomashio is a simple yet flavorful seasoning made in-house using just two high-quality ingredients: white sesame seeds and Bali sea salt. This traditional Japanese condiment has a rich, nutty flavor that adds a delicate, savory touch to a wide range of dishes. By toasting the sesame seeds to perfection, we release their natural oils, giving our gomashio a deep, aromatic profile that complements the mineral-rich sea salt harvested from Bali’s pristine shores.
The beauty of gomashio lies in its versatility and health benefits. Unlike regular table salt, which can be overused, gomashio offers a more balanced approach to seasoning. With the sesame seeds acting as a carrier for the sea salt, you get a savory hit of flavor without needing to over-salt your food. This makes it ideal for those looking to reduce their sodium intake while still enjoying well-seasoned dishes.
Sesame seeds are also packed with nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, calcium, and magnesium. Combined with Bali sea salt, which is rich in trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, our gomashio is not only a delicious addition to meals but also a nutritious one. The salt’s subtle brininess enhances the toasty sesame flavor, creating a perfect balance between salty and nutty.
Our gomashio can be used in a variety of ways. Sprinkle it over steamed vegetables, rice, or noodles for an instant flavor boost. It also pairs wonderfully with salads, avocado toast, and grilled meats or fish. You can even mix it into sauces or dips to add texture and depth. Its light, crunchy texture and umami-rich flavor make it an essential kitchen staple for elevating everyday dishes.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your meals with a unique, handcrafted seasoning or seeking a healthier alternative to regular salt, our homemade gomashio brings the best of Bali’s natural flavors to your table.
