Wild harvested from the pristine waters of the Atlantic, Power Super Foods Wakame grows in a remote, intertidal zone. This immaculate environment ensures our sea vegetables are free from impurities.

Our Wakame is sustainably hand selected by certified organic, small-scale harvesters, then air dried at low temperatures. These practices ensure minimal environmental impact and promote the sustainable supply of quality sea vegetables.

Seaweed has long been enjoyed by coastal populations around the world. Perhaps its popularity can be attributed to its impressive nutritional profile: seaweed can contain up to 20 times the mineral content of most land vegetables. Seaweed naturally absorbs the nutrients from its marine environment, making sourcing from pure waters vital.

Wakame Flakes are a delicious source of iodine, potassium, Vitamin B6, B12 and Magnesium. Iodine is essential for production of normal thyroid hormones, maintenance of normal healthy skin and energy metabolism.

Suggested Uses:

Power Super Foods Wakame Flakes are delicious sprinkled onto miso, noodles, bibimbap bowls and stir fries. They are also a versitile alternative to salt, rendering a nutrient boost to soups, casseroles, stocks and salads.

Wakame seaweed is a good source of Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, C, E, K, folate and soluble/insoluble fibre, and has among the very highest nutrient-to-calorie ratios (from a vegetarian source). The salty taste is not just salt but a balanced, chelated combination of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron and trace minerals. 

Ingredients: Certified Organic Sustainable 100% Wakame Flakes (Alaria esculenta).

1. What does Wakame taste like? 

Kinda salty, kinda ‘sea-fresh'. 

2. Do I have to hydrate it first? 

No these flakes have a soft texture.

3. Is it raw? 

Yes…. either shade-dried or sun-dried. 

4. Is it irradiated?

 No! Double NO!! A food can not be certified organic AND irradiated – the two are mutually exclusive. 

5. Is it just like the bright green Wakame you are served in sushi restaurants? 

NO, that is actually a highly processed version of Wakame, involving nutrient loss and a high carbon footprint. Ours is the natural dark green, naturally dried version of this. 

6. Is it from Japan? Or China? Or Korea?? No, no, & NO! Our Wakame is from Canada.
