A dark brown, bushy seaweed Hijiki is grown in clean waters under plenty of sunshine to get its prime growth and maturity. Our Hijiki is harvested in environmentally secured coastal waters and goes through washing, sun-drying, steaming, and redrying before packaging. Hijiki has a distinct texture and a soothingly sweet flavor that feels stronger than other sea vegetables. It works great in salads, stuffing, croquettes, tofu, noodles, and other tasty delights. To use, boil hijiki seaweed for 15 minutes and use it in your recipe.
