Wakame is a kelp and looks and tastes like spinach lasagne. Wakame is similiar to Kombu and it can be used in many of the same ways, particularly in soup.
Wakame is probably best used in salads, added to soup or broth or used as a topping for other dishes. Soak dried wakame in water and it will expand to about 10 -15 times in size. It can then be either simmered for 10 minutes or cut into small pieces and served as a salad.
Wakame soba, a mixture of wakame and buckwheat noodles (soba) is a favourite at Japanese restaurants.
Wakame because of its kelp content is rich in protein, calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron and folate. Lower rates of breast cancers have been reported in Japanese women eating a diet high in kelp. Lignans, which help fight cancer are found in high quantity in wakame (kelp) and may provide protection against certain cancers.
To prepare: Soak in water for 5 minutes until tender and then use for miso soup, salads etc. Soak with cucumber & tuna in sushi vinegar for a really tasty Japanese treat. It is also frequent mixed with ginger or seasame salad dressing. It is a tender seaweed that really soaks up flavor, not hard to chew at all. To add more color and texture, we recommend to add some strip of our Six Fortune Agar Agar Strip (B000N6XX3W) and soaking with dry seaweed together.

It makes a lot of seaweed when soaked in water (15 times). Postage costs more than the product ($3.59) if you only buy one.
Wakame seaweed very good and healthy 
This seaweed is very health for blood pressure and cancer prevention. You can soak it 15 minutes and it makes a huge amount. I made a seaweed salad with sesame oil, sesame seeds, minced raw ginger and garlic.
When you first make it it smells a little bit "funky" like the shore line. My girlfriend could not eat it at first and I had to eat it more for the benefits than the flavor. Overnight it marinated and the next morning was great! I now eat it regularly and it tastes great after 12-24 hrs in the dressing.
pretty good 
this wakame is pretty good stuff and easy to use. shipping was quite expensive for me, however, even though the product is very light...
