🌿 Wakame – 50g

Edible Seaweed – Undaria pinnatifida

🐚 Description:

Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) is a brown seaweed, originally from Asia and cultivated in Brittany since the mid-1990s. Known for its lightly salty flavor, crunchy texture, and natural umami-enhancing properties (thanks to its glutamate content), Wakame has become a favorite in modern cuisine — whether raw or cooked.

Wakame is incredibly versatile and easy to use:

• Soups: Add to miso soup, vegetable broths, or even cold soups like gazpacho
