Wild harvested from the pristine waters of the Pacific Ocean off Tasmania's east coast, Power Super Foods raw organic premium grade Wakame Leaf (Undaria pinnatifida) is a mineral dense brown seaweed rich in nutrients and flavour enhancing umami.

As a result of the low temperature drying, you might see white powder on the leaves. This is mannitol, a naturally occurring substance and the source of the delicious sweet salty umami flavour that gives depth of flavour to this wild sea vegetable.

When consumed as part of a healthy diet including the consumption of a variety of foods, Wakame Leaf provides an excellent source of iodine. Our wakame is wild grown and sustainably hand harvested fresh from the uncontaminated waters of Tasmania, then gently sun dried. These practices ensure minimal environmental impact and promote the sustainable supply of quality sea vegetables.

Seaweed does not require fresh water, soil or fertiliser to grow. It is fast growing, produces the majority of the earth's oxygen, removes CO2, and supports coastal communities.

Ways to enjoy:

With its sweet salty flavour, Power Super Foods Wakame Leaf is delicious eaten as a nutritous crunchy dried snack, cut up and added to soups, casseroles and stocks and is a key ingredient in Japanese miso soup. Rehydrate into silky smooth strips to add a nutrient and flavour boost to noodles, nourish bowls, salads and stir fries.

Origins of wakame:

Wakame has been consumed in Chinese, Japanese and Korean cultures for centuries, as both food and medicine.
