We have bought it before. We use it in homemade miso soup, and in ramen soups.

I love adding this to my ramen, both instant and home made, and it's really good.

I bought this for making seaweed salad. It was the best value that I could find at the time. It was also my first time making seaweed salad. I soaked it to rehydrate waiting with bated breath until the time that I could enjoy the seaweed salad. Maybe it was my lack of patience, or lack of know how, but getting the seaweed into the little slices like store bought seaweed salad was not happening. After 20 minutes of attempted slaughter of the seaweed, I gave up and made a chunky seaweed salad. Chunky seaweed salad is very fishy. I would say this product is not great for 1st time seaweed salad makers but probably fantastic for other things that need seaweed.

excelent

LEAD - not something you want in your food.

Never in my life have I eaten seaweed as tough as this.

We love this wakame, it is soft, its flavor is gentle and we can just add it to any dish at the end. It feels very pure with its lovely green color, not like some others, which are brown and have a strong fishy smell.

I love this in my Miso Soup. It expands a lot so you don't need that much.

This form of organic wakame is easy to use and is a basic ingredient in the traditional miso soup that we eat several times a week.

GREAT TASTE AND JUST WHAT I NEEDED FOR MISO SOUP

We love the taste of this Wakame. It goes so well with our version of Cucumber Salad.

It's thicker than you think. More like thick leaves than shreds. Makes a ton

Great for seafood recipes like baked fish steaks or tofu bites and savory rice dishes

Easy to use and tastes great.

I use it in miso soup. Nice.

I would have liked these a little bit thinner strips, but otherwise worked well to make my seaweed salad.

I have purchased this Pacific Wakame several times over the last couple of years and have yet to get an inferior batch. 3 tablespoons always expand into a very nice seaweed salad or maybe you would like to add it to a miso soup.Since consistency is of importance to me, I recommend this Pacific Wakami. However, there are other locations that have a better price on this same product. Accordingly, 4 stars instead of 5.

I love seaweed salad. I order it every time I go out for sushi. Usually, it's about $5 per serving in restaurants. I don't know why, but it occurred to me that I might try to make it on my own - especially after I saw how simple the recipe is. I ordered this wakame for my project. I wasn't quite sure after I rehydrated it; it was darker than the seaweed I usually get in restaurants. (Also, I was too lazy to slice it into slivers, which is how you usually see the seaweed in restaurant salads.) I served it to visiting family members before I'd even tried it and it was a huge success.

Product labeled Made in China and named Pacific however, it is from a seaweed farm in Shandong waters - known to contain high levels of toxins and drug residue. Beware.

I wanted to make my own wakame salad, since the commercial brand available comes from Asia, and has food coloring in it -- and is triple or more the price than making it yourself! I'm guessing that the amount hydrated wakame from the package equals about 1.5 quarts - I covered it with warm water, and it immediately absorbed it all and asked for more; did this 2-3 times until it stopped expanding. There are plenty of online recipes for the Asian dressing that turns it into a great salad. I could wish that there was a shredded variety, but the hydrated product is delicate enough for a salad, and I probably could slash it up into smaller pieces if motivated. It grows on the rocky seashore here in California, and occasionally I grab some off the rock for a salty snack. The flavor of this product is just as fresh!I just realized that this product comes from China, not the US -- while it is delicious, I worry about where in China it is harvested, since seaweed can absorb harmful substances in polluted waters, and there is no quality control indicated on the package...
