Toasted sesame with yuzu - 150g

Sesame is a spice that has been cultivated for approximately 5,000 years, first for its oil and later for its use in cooking. Sesame is very popular in Japan; the Japanese sprinkle it on their rice. Yuzu is a citrus fruit from East Asia. It arrived in Japan around 700 AD. It closely resembles a lemon, about 6 cm in diameter.

Its taste is similar to that of mandarin and yellow grapefruit. Yuzu sesame is used in two well-known Japanese blends, firstly Furikake, a blend of fragrant sesame and seaweed.

As well as Gomasio, a blend of flavored toasted sesame seeds and salt. These two blends are a great substitute for our French salt and pepper.
