Get to know arame
Arame may be the most nutritious sea vegetable you’ve never heard of. Harvested in an environmentally protected area off the coast of Japan, arame is available dried and can be purchased in most large grocery stores (in the Asian foods isle). It has a mild flavor, which makes it a great introduction to sea vegetables. Plus, it’s basically fat-free, low in calories and packed with vitamins, minerals and vital trace elements. This week, challenge yourself to go to the ocean for nutrition by adding arame to a soup or salad.

I tried it raw out of the bag, but it tasted bitter to me. I think I will like it in miso soup, however and will report back…..

Arame is a sea vegetable that looks like black spaghetti, sort of. It is about 4” long and skinny. It is wonderful in soup and salads. You just sprinkle it on. Spirulina, I believe, isa vegetable. They are just wonderful for your health, they are so packed with nutrition. You can find them in the asian section, macrobiotic section. In Dallas, Whole Foods and all the wonderful Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese markets. They have large sections of sea vegetables. Arame is the mildest. Some of the others are strong and chewy, so I put them in any soup, soak them, and take them out.
