Arame Sea Vegetable is a
mineral rich, brown algae cultivated off the shores of Ise (ee-say), Japan
where it thrives in cool waters of the arctic Japan current. The sea there
is surrounded by National forests and mountains and is known as the 'Ocean
by Mountains' area. Rivers nourish the bay creating a mineral rich
environment. This area leads all of Japan in ecology movements. Development
is forbidden to ensure future generations the legacy of this famous edible
seaweed resource. Only the most tender fronds of arame are selected and hand
harvested in the summer. The fronds are washed and sun dried. After drying,
the fronds are then steamed for five hours to soften it and enhance its
color, then finely shredded to make it easy to use and quick to prepare
before naturally air drying.
Arame (Eisenia bicyclis) is a wavy sea vegetable, with two thin, oval
fronds. Each year fronds are shed and new ones develop creating a branched
and feathery plant. Although, when dried and cooked arame resembles hiziki
in color and appearance, it is softer, more delicate and much milder in
flavor. Arame is the sweetest of all the sea vegetables with a pleasing
texture and appearance. These qualities make it the most appealing to those
just beginning to familiarize their palate with sea vegetables.
Traditionally arame was, as were all sea vegetables, valued for its natural
mineral content and its ability to enrich and cleanse the blood. Arame has
been a traditional part of the Japanese diet since ancient times. Arame is
low in sodium, low carb and fat free. It is rich in dietary fiber, and a
good source of vitamin A, magnesium and calcium. It is also a source of
potassium, iron, vitamin B2, mannitol (non caloric sugar alcohol), zinc and
many trace minerals.
Arame may be cooked with whole grains, in soups, stir fries, vegetable
dishes, homemade breads, stuffing, salads, and croquettes.. Arame doubles in
size when cooked. To use, rinse quickly, soak for 5 minutes in cold water,
chop if desired, and add to your recipe. Arame makes an excellent side dish
when cooked with sautéed sweet vegetables.
