How to make gomasio at home
If you prefer, you can easily make gomasio at home. Take some white sesame and toast it in a non-stick pan without any seasoning with a bit of salt (the ratio is a pinch of salt for every two tablespoons of sesame seeds).
Be careful because the sesame should become golden but not burnt, otherwise it will taste bitter, so keep the heat not too high and stir often.
When the sesame begins to color and you see it popping, remove it from the heat and coarsely grind it in a mixer; the seeds should start to break, but it should not turn into a powder.
When the gomasio is cool, you can store it in a tightly closed glass jar in a cool, dry place (but not in the fridge), it will last for several weeks.
