Young Hijiki(Dried Japanese Seaweed)

A type of Hijiki rarely tasted — even in Japan. Young Hijiki is harvested early, when the seaweed is at its most tender and vibrant. Compared to mature hijiki, these delicate strands have a cleaner flavor, less astringency, and a pleasantly crunchy texture that adds an accent to your dishes. The Young Hijiki is quickly blanched soon after harvesting, a shorter cooking process that helps retain more of its natural nutrients, then gently dried to preserve its flavor and texture. 

Soak in plenty of water for 6 minutes to rehydrate. The hijiki will expand to about three times its original volume. Toss into salads, grain bowls, pasta, or wrap it into spring rolls and have fun with the unique texture.

1.1 oz (30g), 5.6 oz (160g)

Infuse into oils or sauces for a brilliant emerald hue and subtle marine depth. Fold a pinch into risotto or pasta at the final moment, then finish with a light sprinkle on top to amplify its aroma and color.
