Stories from Nature
Wakame seaweed is a brown seaweed that grows on the rocky seabeds off the coasts of Japan, Korea, and China. It has green fronds with a central vein. Well-known and highly valued in the East, it is a significant nutritional source, especially in Japan and Southeast Asia.
Recently, this seaweed has also been gaining popularity in New Zealand, Australia, and France, where it is cultivated along the Breton coast of Finistère for use in food and cosmetics.
It is known for its rich content of vitamins, proteins, and minerals, particularly iodine, calcium, magnesium, and iron. Precisely because of its iodine content, this seaweed is recommended for restoring balance to thyroid function. Wakame seaweed is the third most widely consumed seaweed, after nori and kombu. It has restorative and stimulating properties and is beneficial for a weakened body.
