What is the edible value of kelp?

Wakame has high economic and medicinal value. It is not only rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, but also contains alginate, mannitol, fucoidan, highly unsaturated fatty acids, fucoxanthin, organic iodine, sterol compounds, dietary fiber and other active ingredients with unique physiological functions. It has multiple physiological activities such as lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, immunomodulation, anti-mutation, and anti-tumor. It has multiple pharmacological effects and has good effects in anti-virus, anti-tumor, lowering blood pressure, weight loss, and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

How to eat wakame

Now my family and I like to eat it the most, and it is also the simplest way to eat it. It is simple because as long as you can wash vegetables, you can eat it. The method is:

1. Take an appropriate amount of wakame, put it in clean water, wash it and soak it for about 5-10 minutes. Remember, the vegetable is too tender to be soaked for a long time.

2. When pickling wakame, you can prepare your favorite seasonings, such as mashed garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, or soy sauce, sesame oil, or other seasonings you like. What I like to use now is sesame salad dressing bought from the supermarket. In short, just make a small bowl of whatever seasoning you like.

3. The ingredients are ready, and the vegetables should be soaked. Drain the vegetables and you're done. Of course, if you are particular about food, you can blanch them in boiling water. For lazy people like me, it's OK. When blanching in boiling water, just blanch it lightly.

4. When eating, just pick up a piece of kelp with chopsticks and dip it in the sauce. It is super simple and refreshing.
