Alaria – Atlantic Wakame – 150g

Alaria seaweed, often called “Atlantic Wakame”, is one of the sweeter tasting seaweed of the Northern Hemisphere. It is similar to Wakame in flavour but with a bit more crunch to the texture. Alaria belongs to the ‘brown seaweed’ group and grows along the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America. The seaweed has a natural khaki/copper colour and is nutritious & versatile. Easy to prepare, it has been enjoyed in the British Isles for centuries.

The white powder that often covers the surface of the dried leaves is called ‘Umami’ in Japanese. It is a naturally occurring amino-acid that rises to the surface as the plant dries and ages and it is prized by chefs for its taste & balancing effect on the flavour of the dish.

Provenance

Our Alaria leaves are harvested sustainably from the wild in Ireland and are dried naturally to preserve all their nutritional quality. Our Alaria is tested for contaminants.
