Wakame

We Harvest our Seaweed in Maine - Alaria is a great substitute for Wakame as it is so similar to traditional Japanese Wakame. Alaria is the most delicate of the brown seaweeds - It can be used to create a Miso soup with a wild, yet delicate flavor. Alaria - as with many sea vegetables - contains many of the vitamins and minerals needed to live a healthy life. Alaria is almost identical to Japanese Wakame biologically and nutritionally.
Wakame is a Brown Seaweed and is rich in Fucoidan - a fucose rich polysaccharide. Brown seaweed has various biological functions and has had numerous studies pointing to its health benefits.

Culinary Uses:
Alaria is excellent for Miso soup and makes calcium-rich vegetable soups and stews. It imparts a chicken-like flavor when cooked with rice. Whole leaf Alaria can be used uncooked in salads if pre-soaked - marinated in lemon juice - blanched or steamed. It can also be quick roasted and enjoyed as chips - Alaria has a more delicate taste but needs a longer cooking time (40 minutes) than the cultivated Japanese Wakame (15 minutes). Soak prior to cooking and use the soaking water. Granular Alaria is a great addition to any energy or protein drink that needs mineral fortification (particularly calcium).
