* Japanese * Hand Harvested Eden Wakame is a delicious and nourishing sea vegetable that grows wild off the coast of Ise (eesay), Japan, an environmentally protected area. Hand harvested from January to the end of April, the wakame is rinsed and naturally sun dried. Wakame has become popular in the U.S. in its essential role as the lovely green in Miso Soup. It is quickly restored to tenderness after soaking.
