What is wakame seaweed?

Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) is an edible brown seaweed originally from the Pacific region and has been a part of Japanese cuisine for centuries. Today, it is also sustainably cultivated in Europe – particularly in Brittany.

Its tender, green leaves and mildly sweet taste make wakame ideal for soups, salads and Asian dishes .

Where do our wakame leaves come from?

Our wakame comes from controlled organic harvesting in Brittany (France) .
