I purchased this as an alternative to the popular Japanese furikake because the Asian version incorporates sugar in all of their varieties, which I don't like. However, my glee at finding a sugarless version was soon cut short once I was able to inspect the contents in person. The ingredient list boasts of sesame seeds, seaweed, and pickled shiso leaves, but the last two ingredients are so disproportionate as to negate the necessity of even listing them except to highlight possible allergens.

Seasame seeds, sesame seeds...both black and traditional versions...with a flake here or two that might be seaweed. Not that my tastebuds could tell. You're honestly just better off buying a bottle of sesame seeds and tossing in a sprinkle of salt.

While not a direct commentary on the company itself (I really like their umeboshi), I think it's sad that they felt the need to Westernize this delightful condiment by eliminating or reducing the tastiest parts.

I LOVE this product - all four of my boys (ages 2, 4, 7 and 9) love it as much as I do. we put it on mac n cheese, salads, pasta, you name it, we shake it!

Vegetarians and meat lovers alike will find Eden Shake both good for adding texture and flavor!Do you want something great to season vegetables in a wok? This is great to add to sauted vegetables, steamed vegetables, toufu or meat/seafood dishes needing a touch of flavor.

It's amazing that there aren't more positive reviews about this product. I have shipped bottles to 4 relatives and have opened their taste buds to this delectable product. All 4 are now diehards for Eden Shake. I use it on broccoli, eggs, asparagus, kale, spinach, seared tuna, etc. and sometimes straight out of the bottle because I love the exotic taste!
