Shirakiku Cut Wakame Dried Seaweed - Dry Seaweed, Sea Kelp - Fresh Vegetables and Seaweed Chips for Miso Soup, Ramen, and Sushi - Pre-Cut, Resealable Package - 16 Oz

Love the flavor. The cut wakame is the perfect size for miso soup. I was worried that the hydrated seaweed would be slimy, but the texture is great. Thick enough to have a bite to it (think thicker than spinach in a soup, but not by a large amount). The health benefits and nutrients are just a bonus. I get my greens in while having great tasting food - can't ask for more than that! My recipe is: 8g miso powder w/dashi (or 18g/1TBSP miso paste w/dashi) 200g water (or 240g/1C if using miso past) 1.5g cut wakame optional: 1.2g gochugaru for a little spice optional: diced/sliced white/yellow onion or green onion optional: 35g tofu (or more) To a mug or small bowl of just-boiled water, add all the dry ingredients and let sit for 2-3 minutes (if adding paste, let all ingredients except paste sit for a couple minutes, then stir in paste. Reheat if necessary). You can also add everything to a pot and cook quickly on the stove. Just be sure not to boil the miso paste, as this kills nutrients, if you care about that. It's a great breakfast side-dish, and is also great for a savory snack.

Nice big bag. Clean. Well-cut. Rehydrates fast. Good taste.

Excellent product, great flavor and a little goes along way. It is cut to a easily used size for soups and pretty much any dish you'd like to add it to.

Really like this product. Very good quality and best price! Not fishy.

A bag lasts a long time for home use. These kelp is a bit heavier and chewier than some I have tried. I happen to like it, but some may find this too chewier.

No surprises. Dried appropriately.

Best value for WAKAME seaweeds. This 16 ounces of dried Wakame seaweed will last a long time. To be able to measure the correct amount of Wakame I consume daily, I use my KRUPS ELECTRIC COFFEE GRINDER to reduce the dried Wakame flakes to an almost powder form to add to foods and drinks. I add a 1/4 teaspoon of ground Wakame to two scrambled eggs for my breakfast meals. I sprinkle a small amount to miso soup and several other dishes for more umami flavour. This large will last me a long time. This is my second package of Wakame from the same brand, Shirakiku.

Great seaweed - great taste, very fresh, great price.

Very good

I add seaweed to Asian soups like ramen. I bought a set of quick-brewing tonkotsu ramen for lunch at work, I add fried meat cut into pieces, a boiled egg cut in half, shallots if I have them, and, of course, my favorite wakame seaweed from this set. This ramen is simply gorgeous. These seaweeds are crunchy, but they are tender, cut into convenient slices, contain iron, iodine and bromine. This is a wonderful preventative for iodine deficiency and thyroid problems.

J ai chercher un moment dans les magasin près de chez moi ce genre d algue qui une fois tremper dans de l eau chaude reprennent et se réhydrate. très bon dans une soupe ou comme side dish. Le paquet est plutot conséquent, donc ca vaux le coup.

tasty , fast making

I was trying to find Wakame cut like what I buy in sushi restaurants, but this is much larger shreds. Once reconstituted (and it expands to many times its original size) and seasoned it tastes great, it's just not the sushi style I was hoping for
