Clearspring Instant Wakame Flakes 25g offer an authentic taste of premium Japanese seaweed, renowned for its delicate flavor and nutritional benefits. Known in Japan as fueru wakame or "expanding wakame," these flakes are made solely from top quality wakame harvested from carefully cultivated ropes in one of Japan's most esteemed wakame-producing regions.The production process is simple yet meticulous: fresh wakame is blanched briefly to preserve its vibrant color and nutrients, then gently dried to create convenient flakes that rehydrate quickly and effortlessly. This method ensures that the natural, subtle oceanic flavor and texture are retained, making it an ideal ingredient for a variety of culinary uses.Wakame spores are sown in early summer, and after approximately eight months of growth, the mature seaweed fronds”ranging from 1.3 to 2 meters in length”are carefully harvested.
