Herbal Gomasio Recipe: Mineral-Rich Seasoning with Medicinal Herbs

Variety is the spice of life. So while there’s not much variety in our days right now, we can turn our attention to making each bite we take in abso-freakin-lutely riveting. It is an important time to get intentional about what we are taking in via media, conversations, food, air, medicine, etc. since that is what we are building ourselves with. Layering herbs into your daily meals keeps things interesting while supporting your health.

It’s also a time to check out what the hell is in that spice drawer/ pantry/ basement. This recipe is a starting point to enliven herbs you probably already have floating around.

Equipment:

Big bowl for mix

Spoon for stirrin’

Coffee grinder/ spice grinder/ mortar and pestle

Jars to store (a great way to reuse Fat and the Moon jars!)

Ingredients:

P is for part.

1 P Salt (to taste, add this at the end to modulate to your liking)

2 P Sesame seeds (or other seeds or nuts you can smash into smaller pieces, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds all work. If you use flax seeds or chia seeds, it would be best to store in the fridge.)

1 P Seaweed, can be dulse or any other seaweed that can be blended into smaller bits

3-4 P of a smattering of these herbs:

Fennel seed

Caraway seed

Dill seed

Cumin seed

Anise seed

Coriander seed

Dried lemons or oranges

Dried rosehips

Milk thistle seeds

Black pepper

Pulse all herbs and larger pieces of seaweed in the grinder. I like to have some seeds remain whole, but it’s up to your tastes. Add sesame seeds or seed/nut of choice. Then add salt to taste! Jar up and enjoy on pretty much everything. I eat it on my toast and jam in the morning.

‘Fragrance usually isn't a single ingredient. It's an umbrella term that can represent a blend of many aromatic compounds. Many toxic, petroleum-derived ingredients get to lie in the shadows of ‘fragrance’, hiding under the guise of “proprietary blends”.
