Funori Seaweed - Dried Edible Japanese Red Algae
Delve into the world of Japanese seaweed with Funori Seaweed, sourced from the pristine waters of Mie Prefecture. This unique red algae is a lesser-known gem compared to popular varieties like wakame and nori, yet it boasts a rich history as a delicate flavor enhancer and natural thickener for soups.
When cooked, Funori releases a water-soluble edible fiber called funoran, which creates a silky texture, making it an excellent thickening agent for soups and sauces. Packed with nutrition, it delivers a deep ocean flavor that perfectly complements traditional Japanese dishes.
How to Use:
