Wakame is an edible brown seaweed that grows along the coasts of East Asia and has long been used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisine. Asian Choice Wakame Salad features wakame (80%) as the main ingredient, seasoned with sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, and red pepper. The flavor is characterized by a subtle oceanic aroma combined with a sweet-tangy and nutty taste, with a soft yet slightly chewy texture. It is similar to European seaweed salads but distinguished by its Asian-style sesame oil dressing. It works well as a starter, side dish, or base for a salad bowl.
