Hiziki, Wild

Eden Hiziki grows on rocky ledges along the coast of Japan. It needs much sun and years to mature. Hiziki is washed and steamed for four hours and sun dried. Eden selects the best grade. This grade has tiny, tight curls that cook-up a shimmering black and accentuate any plate. Hiziki's flavor is best when lightly sauteed before boiling. Hiziki expands when soaked and cooked. Eden Sea Vegetables offer hope of rounded vegetable kingdom nourishment without dietary supplement.

INGREDIENTS: Hiziki (fusiforme).
