Japanese hijiki seaweed 15grs | Daichu

Hijiki is a fibrous black algae that grows along the coast of Korea, China and Japan. This seaweed is most commonly used in Japanese dishes and is a traditional part of the diet in this country. Seaweed is used in vegetable and fish dishes, stir-fries, salads and sushi.

Hikiji's high fiber content gives it a distinctive texture. The flavor of seaweed is relatively mild. It is often chopped very fine and mixed with items such as sushi rice, sauces and dressings, and cereals. This type of seaweed is not used to wrap sushi, as is often the case with other seaweeds.
