In Japan, sea vegetables have long been a staple food, prized for their varied flavours, their versatility in use and their natural goodness. They are now recognised as a valuable part of a healthy wholefood diet throughout the world. Clearspring Arame grows wild along Japan's rocky Pacific coast. The young wide-leaves plants are hand harvested in late summer, simmered all day in their own juices, then cut into thin strips and naturally sun-dried. Arame's sweet, delicate flavour make it an excellent choice for introducing sea vegetables into your daily diet.
Serving Suggestion
To prepare, soak arame in cool water for 10-15 minutes (it will double in volume). Drain well and rinse briefly. Good for stir fries and salads.
