FURIKAKE, HEALTH & PLEASURE

September 20, 2023

"I'm all for prevention in health. Rather than cure, it's better to prevent by adopting a diet low in fat, sugar, and salt ," explains Kei Matsushima, chef of the eponymous gourmet restaurant in Nice and a specialist in Umami.

Principles that we all have in mind, one way or another, but which we sometimes find difficult to integrate into our lives.

According to him, we should take advantage of everyday recipes to take care of ourselves. Always keep in mind that we consume twice as much salt and that there is a simple and pleasant alternative to replace it : season your dishes with our FURIFURI !

These Japanese-inspired condiments made with seaweed and sesame seeds are perfect for making life savory, but not too salty!

Kei is a chef with a curiosity for everything... He was particularly interested in salt in traditional southern recipes: " In the past, dishes contained little salt because it was an expensive ingredient ," he explains. Over time, it has become widespread and democratized, to the point where today we tend to be too heavy-handed. Our brains have, in fact, integrated the salty taste as pleasant.

When we add salt to a dish, sometimes even without having tasted it, it is as if we were trying to rediscover a taste of yesteryear that had become ingrained in us without us realizing it.

So... Learn to reduce salt and enjoy life!
