• 2 tbsp of sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp of finely chopped dried chives
• 1 tsp of small pieces or powdered seaweed (wakame, nori, hijiki, dulse or arame)
• 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper

Instructions

• Measure out the ingredients.
• Mix the dried chives, black pepper and the finely minced seaweed of your choice into the sesame seeds.
• Put some of the Sesame Chive Sprinkle into a little bowl with a spoon and keep it on your kitchen table.

• Sprinkle onto salad, eggs, rice and veggie dishes.

Sesame seeds are loaded with calcium. Chives contain plenty of vitamins A and C and are a powerful anti-oxidant. Black pepper is one of the most effective herbal carminatives. Carminative herbs bring blood and oxygen to the digestive tract, helping you to digest your meal. Seaweed is a superfood containing loads of minerals.

The combination of all of these ingredients together is nothing but delicious and nutritious. Some people have difficulty eating seaweed because of its strong taste and scent. When mixed together these ingredients meld into a crunchy pleasant flavor. The sesame seeds absorb the intensity of the seaweed and the pepper and chives add a pungent note that enhances any salad or leafy green dish.

If you are looking to enhance the nutritional content of your food, this one simple recipe delivers big time. Seaweed is a super food that is one of the most nutritionally dense plants on the planet. It is high in calcium and potassium and alkalizes the blood.

Sesame Chive Sprinkle is good for anyone, but is especially supportive for menopausal women. The seaweed helps to cool the body and the pepper and chives enhance the sometimes sluggish digestion that can occur during menopause. The rich mineral content is helpful for menopause and women of all ages.
