Wakame is a seaweed that looks and tastes like slippery spinach. Wakame can be used in the same ways as many other seaweeds including in soup and as an addition to green or fruit salads. When dried wakame is soaked in water it expands to at least 10 times its dried size.
Place up to 1 oz (30 grams) of wakame in a large bowl or pan you have filled with water and allow to soak for 30 minutes. After the wakame has swollen to a much greater size, remove the seaweed from the soaking water and place it on a cutting board with the stem facing you. Cut off the leaves and discard the stem (or save for use in soup stock). Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and dip briefly into boiling water to bring out their color before use. The dried flakes may be liberally applied to most foods.
Note: Seaweeds contain naturally high levels of iodine. Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before using. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before using.
In Magick, as with all seaweeds, there is a strong presence of the element of water. This herb can be used for opening psychic gifts, emotional healing, and building strong relationships.
