Wakame is a type of kelp closely related to another popular seaweed, kombu. Emerald Cove® Pacific Ready to U Wakame is cultivated on rope nets spread between posts planted in the sea bed in the shallow areas of the south shore of the Shandong Peninsula in North China, near Korea. The cultivation process is similar to Nori cultivation except that with Nori the spores nets. Wakame naturally attaches itself to the nets directly from the sea water. Eighty percent of all wakame consumed in Japan now comes from China and Korea. After harvesting, it is briefly washed and cut into convenient, ready-to-use pieces. These pieces are laid out to dry in the sun for several days until completely dry, and then packaged.
