Product Overview

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetables provide a clean, Japanese-inspired boost of flavour to any dish. 

Sea vegetables are plants and algae that grow in or near the ocean. Coastal countries such as Japan have been enjoying the sea-salty flavours of seaweed and algae for thousands of years. Japanese cuisine uses algae as stock in broths, fries kelp in tempura and eats sea vegetables in salads.

Clearspring has been leading the way by creating natural vegan foods since 1972. These Japanese Dried Sea Vegetables from Clearspring are low in fat and are incredibly rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. 

Seaweed should be eaten in moderation due to its high iodine content. 

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetable - Arame

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Arame Sea Vegetable is incredibly popular in Japanese cooking due to its semi-sweet flavour. Arame can be sautéed or boiled and then added to soups, salads and stir-fries. Arame pairs perfectly with shallots, walnuts, lemon zest and tamari. Chilled cooked arame can also be mixed through a salad.

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetable - Hijiki

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Hijiki Sea Vegetable is a black sea vegetable that grows in the ocean in long narrow strands. Its nutty flavour combines beautifully with grains and other vegetables. You can make a hijiki chickpea salad, or you can mix hijiki with hummus to make your own maki roll filling. 

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetable - Hokkaido Kombu

Clearspring Japanese Dried Kombu Sea Vegetables are carefully harvested off Hokkaido, an island in northern Japan. Kombu is often used to make Dashi, a popular Japanese soup stock. Add dried shiitake mushrooms to the soaked kombu overnight to create an umami stock. This kelp also pairs well in a mange tout salad with lemon dressing.

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetable - Salad

Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetable Salad is a gorgeous mix of wakame, agar and aka tsunomata. These sea vegetables are rich in iodine and add minerals to stews and soups. Clearspring’s Japanese Dried Sea Vegetable Salad should be soaked for 10-15 minutes in lukewarm water and can then be served with a sesame dressing for a perfect salad.
