Description

It’s the main carotenoid found in brown algae, such as wakame, and it has 13.5 times the antioxidant capacity of vitamin E ( 22).

One 8-week study fed rats with high cholesterol a high fat diet supplemented with 10% freeze-dried seaweed. It found the rats had 40% lower total cholesterol, 36% lower LDL cholesterol, and 31% lower triglyceride levels ( 43). The iron in wakame increases the production of red blood cells and helps with the metabolic enzyme processes that the body carries out to digest proteins and absorb nutrients from food. An iron deficiency is the world’s most common nutritional deficiency and has been shown to contribute to developmental delay, impaired behavior, diminished intellectual performance and decreased resistance to infection. Seaweed is low in calories due to its high content of fiber and water, but potentially rich in minerals absorbed from seawater. It also contains an amino acid called glutamic acid, which is converted into glutamate that imparts a rich umami flavor when added to recipes. However, it is important to note the wide variation in nutrient content depending on the species of seaweed, and the location and time of harvest. It may contain: Wakame fronds are green and have a subtly sweet flavour and satiny texture. The leaves should be cut into small pieces as they will expand during cooking.Interestingly, seaweed has become a research focus for new ways to support people who are at risk of diabetes ( 50). Wakame provides manganese, iron and calcium, three minerals that help balance hormones naturally. Manganese and calcium help improve symptoms of PMS as well. Seaweed is also considered to have anti-obesity effects. In particular, several animal studies suggest that a substance in seaweed called fucoxanthin may help reduce body fat ( 34, 35, 36). While a few case reports have associated iodine-containing kelp consumption and thyroid dysfunction, thyroid function returned to regular once consumption stopped ( 58, 59).

In Oriental medicine it has been used for blood purification, intestinal strength, skin, hair, reproductive organs and menstrual regularity. [17]

How to store seaweed

a b Epstein, Graham (7 October 2017). "Undaria pinnatifida: A case study to highlight challenges in marine invasion ecology and management". Ecology and Evolution. 7 (20): 8624–8642. doi: 10.1002/ece3.3430. PMC 5648660. PMID 29075477. Another interesting study suggests that the fucoxanthin found in wakame may act as a chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic compound in colon cancer cells. The study also noted additional improvements in blood sugar levels in those with a genetic disposition to insulin resistance, which usually accompanies type 2 diabetes ( 51). The benefits of wakame come from the seaweed’s nutrition content. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals, such as folate, vitamin B2 and manganese. Kwon, Mya (June 5, 2013).

Your thyroid gland releases hormones to help control growth, energy production, reproduction and the repair of damaged cells in your body ( 1, 2). A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that dried wakame powder altered the activities of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism in the liver in rats. The rats that were fed diets containing the seaweed powder had lower triacylglycerol levels, suggesting that wakame seaweed is useful as a food to prevent hyperlipidemia.Folate, or vitamin B12, is an essential vitamin is present in wakame. It’s needed for copying and synthesizing DNA, producing new cells, and supporting nerve and immune function. In Japan and Europe [ citation needed], wakame is distributed either dried or salted, and used in soups (particularly miso soup), and salads ( tofu salad), or often simply as a side dish to tofu and a salad vegetable like cucumber. These dishes are typically dressed with soy sauce and vinegar/ rice vinegar.

Dried seaweed can be softened by soaking in warm water for a few minutes. Seaweed does not need to be cooked before eating. It can be added to salads or hot dishes like soups and casseroles. Many seaweed types are a source of umami flavor from its high glutamate content. It is often added to soups (such as dashi broths), stews, and sauces to create a richer, deeper flavor. The following are common types and uses: Organic Wakame Seaweed is the most nutritionally dense superfood available on the market today. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, it provides an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, B2, C, E and K, and minerals calcium, iron, manganese, folate, and magnesium. The perfect dietary supplement for those trying to lose weight, it is believed to speed up the metabolism and promote fat burning. While it may only contribute to a small percentage of some of the DVs above, using it as a seasoning once or twice per week can be an easy way to add more nutrients to your diet.
