Dried Seaweed (Wakame) Cut - 20 g Wakame is a type of seaweed that belongs to the brown algae group and is particularly common along the cool coastal areas of the Northwest Pacific. This dried and pre-cut variant makes it easy to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home without troublesome processing. The product is frequently used in Korean and Japanese cuisine, where seaweed is a central ingredient in traditional soups and fresh salads. To use the seaweed, simply rehydrate it by boiling it in water for about five minutes, after which it regains its soft and full texture. If the seaweed is to be used in a salad, it is recommended to rinse it thoroughly in cold water after boiling to remove excess salt. The taste is subtly sweet with a distinct and characteristic oceanic flavour that sets it apart from other vegetables and gives dishes a unique depth. The texture is soft and slightly chewy after rehydration, making it suitable as a hearty element in both hot and cold dishes. Seaweed is naturally rich in iodine, and it is recommended to consume it in moderate amounts - up to 8 grams daily - as excessive consumption can affect thyroid function. The package contains 20 grams of dried seaweed, which corresponds to approximately eight servings, making it practical for smaller households or for trying the ingredient for the first time. The packaging is compact and easy to store in a dry cupboard. The product is aimed at anyone interested in Asian cooking, health-conscious consumers, and those who wish to enrich their diet with sea-based ingredients. Dried wakame is a popular search among those looking for gluten-free seaweed, Korean miso soup ingredients, Asian seaweed soup, or healthy sea vegetables for everyday dishes.Product DeclarationContent:Dried wakame seaweedNutritional content per 100 g Nutrient Amount Energy 867kJ / 207kcal Fat 4.1 g – of which saturated fatty acids 0.9 g – of which unsaturated fatty acids g Carbohydrate 40 g – of which sugars 0 g Protein 22 g Salt 4.59 g Calcium mg
