Arame is a type of seaweed that is popular in Japanese cuisine. Its thick dark brown leaves, once processed, become thin wiry strands that look a lot like black vermicelli. Arame has a mild slightly sweet flavor with a texture that is firm. However, this seaweed is not a common ingredient in many supermarkets.
Hijiki is a brown sea vegetable growing wild on rocky coastlines around Japan, Korea, and China. Hijiki has been a part of the Japanese diet for centuries. It is rich in dietary fibre and essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.
