A great seaweed
This dried seaweed is easy to use and full of flavour. It reconstitutes to useable seaweed after about 10 minutes of soaking and then the water you have soaked it in should be disposed of and the seaweed rinsed to remove excess salt. After this, fantastic to stir fry with or for any other use in cooking. You only have to use very small amounts as it significantly swells - so great value for money and an important healthy addition to your diet.

Value for money and good quality
First of this was very good in terms of quality. I add it to my miso soup, noodle dishes and virtually any Asian style meals and seafood dishes. My girlfriend is Thai and she loves it as well and has asked me to order her some when I submit my next order. The seaweed is salty but some of that saltiness can be reduced by soaking and draining it before use and to be fair I really don't mind it as it adds to the seasoning of the dishes that I use it in. Finally it was good value for money as well as good quality. A definite winner for me.

very big bag
The bag is very big, and 500g of dried wakame could feed an army! The bag is resealable, so easy to store, but if you are not using it a lot, you might want to transfer it to a more air tight container. This wakame comes from China, and is of good quality. It expands tenfold, 1 teaspoon of this seaweed will fill a whole mug when expanded. I tend to take a small amount out of the bag and crush it to a tiny pieces before using it to sprinkle over miso soup or ramen bowl.

Tasty and will last ages.
Great! Tasty and will last ages. I’d like to change my diet to not be part of a culture that contributes to the conversion of virgin grounds of wild life to farm lands. Seaweed can be grown in the seas and oceans, helping to protect the system. This is a high quality wakame which grows big from just a two spoons of a weed to half a litre. I find it tastier with a sea salt.

Good value for the money and fast delivery
The texture is a little chewy and I was expecting the strips of salad to be thinner but overall Good quality and it only took a day to arrive.

Dried Kelp Production line
This is one massive bag. I read the instructions and found that a small amount is to be left in hot water for 3 minutes.to.produce enough wakame. I definitely over did the "small amount" part. You really do only need a small amount. It expands like magic. I pop this in miso soup (same organic brand) every few days and sometimes with lightly fried mushrooms too. So easy and very tasty. I assume.my intake of iodine has gone up from.zeronsince having this stuff. This bag should last a very long time

Great seaweed!
Great and affordable seaweed! It grows as expected 3 to 4 times (see pictures), nice chunks and with the right saltiness. When using it, keep in mind it's made of 20% salt.

Coges un puñadito, las dejas en remojo y como te descuides se multiplica su tamaño por 10 , cunde mucho y el alga está muy rica de sabor, solo por su calidad y su cantidad (cuando se transforma XD) merece la pena lo que vale, que a fin de cuentas no me parece nada excesivo.

Lecker, unschlagbar günstig in der Großpackung, für Algenliebaber und Liebhaber der japanischen Küche ein Muss. Ich weiche die Algen nicht im Wasser ein, sondern werfe sie direkt in eine heiße Dashi Brühe(auch Rinder- oder Gemüsebrühe passen hervorragend). Man kann die Algen auch pur aus der Packung knabbern, sie schmecken salzig, knusprig und gut. Werde auf jeden Fall bald wieder bestellen, die große Packung ist schon zu Hälfte leer, und dass nach paar Wochen.

Adoro aggiungerle in una tazza di miso o a una preparazione orientale! Buonissime
