Wakame Seaweed Flakes
Wakame is a seaweed that looks and tastes like a slippery spinach. Wakame can be used in the same ways as many other seaweeds including in soup and as an addition to green or fruit salads. When dried wakame is soaked in water it expands to at least 10 times its dried size.
There is no doubt that eating small amounts of wakame prevents constipation. Recent research has found that some of the fibers in wakame help prevent colon cancer by providing antioxidants in addition to preventing the "fermentation" and oxidation of food as it passes through the large intestine. The fucoidan sugars in wakame are antiviral against cytomegalovirus and herpes. Daily consumption of small amounts of the reconstituted seaweed (a tablespoon of reconstituted seaweed prepared by soaking one-quarter teaspoon of dried seaweed) may lower blood pressure.
Wakame is an excellent source of calcium, iron, iodione, and niacin and contains trace minerals and vitamin C.
