Hemp seeds - Asanomi

Hemp, native to Central and Western Asia, blooms with white flowers in early summer and produces fruits covered in a hard grey shell in autumn. These are called hemp seeds or onomi. It is one of the ingredients of shichimi togarashi, and is characterized by a pleasant crispness when biting into it and a hot, spicy taste. Hemp seeds contain about 30% oil, and their aroma enhances their value as a spice.

Japanese:

中央および西アジア原産のアサは、初夏に白い花が咲き、秋になると灰色で硬い殻に包まれた果実がなる。これが麻の実または苧実(おのみ)とよばれる。七味唐辛子の一成分であり、かりっという噛(か)んだときの快感と、ぴりっとくる辛味が特徴である。麻の実には約30%の油が含まれ、その芳香が香辛料としての価値を高めている。
