What is wakame?
You may know wakame from sushi and maki rolls, but did you know that wakame is actually seaweed? Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) is a species of brown seaweed that grows in the coastal waters of East Asia. It is one of the most widely grown and consumed seaweeds in the world and is eaten as a food in many Asian countries including Japan, China and Korea. Wakame has a mild, sweet taste and a soft, meaty texture.
Rich in nutrients, wakame contains high amounts of calcium, iodine and iron. It has been traditionally used in Asian countries for centuries to strengthen health and prevent disease.
Wakame is a healthy and delicious ingredient in many Asian dishes. You can use wakame in many different recipes. The best known is probably the Japanese seaweed salad “Wakame Goma” , which we mix with the noodles in this recipe. You can buy it from an Asian store or you can easily make it yourself. Why not try something new and use wakame in your next dish?
