It has a subtly sweet, but distinctive and strong flavour and texture. It is most often served in soups and salads. Wakame is a rich source of eicosapentaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. At over 400 mg/(100 kcal) or almost 1 mg/kJ, it has one of the higher nutrient-to-energy ratios for this nutrient, and among the very highest for a vegetarian source. A typical 10–20 g (1–2 tablespoon) serving of wakame contains roughly 16 to 31 kJ (3.75 to 7.5 kcal) and provides 15–30 mg of omega-3 fatty acids. Wakame also has high levels of sodium, calcium, iodine, thiamine and niacin. Wakame fronds are green and have a subtly sweet flavour and satiny texture. The leaves should be cut into small pieces as they will expand during cooking. In Japan and Europe, wakame is distributed either dried or salted, and used in soups, salads or often simply as a side dish to tofu with a vegetable salad like cucumber. These dishes are typically dressed with soy sauce and vinegar or rice vinegar. Goma wakame, also known as seaweed salad, is a popular side dish at American and European sushi restaurants. Literally translated, it means "sesame seaweed", as sesame seeds are usually included in the recipe. Chinese, Japanese and Korean sea-farmers have grown wakame for centuries, and are still both the leading producers and consumers.

Concerned about seaweed with high arsenic/heavy metal concentrations** A: I bought these because it says on the bag that it is made in Japan, now I am not the manufacturer, I hope it is a real label and not a lie. They are very nice seaweed, I eat them seldom anyway. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/511978247-japanese-wakame-seaweed-100g-tasty-foods-inc](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/511978247-japanese-wakame-seaweed-100g-tasty-foods-inc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
