Hijiki

Short Description

Clearspring Hijiki Sea Vegetable 50GSea Vegetable.Hijiki's black colour contrasts well with yellow, orange and green tones of other foods. Hijiki contains an abundance of minerals, and it has been said that the thick, lustruous hair of many Japanese people is partly due to their regular intake of hijiki sea vegetable. Despite its long history of use and reputation as a health food in Japan, the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2004 questioned the consumption of hijiki because of the natural presence of arsenic. Clearspring Hijiki is Hizikia fusiforme, sustainably wild harvested and dried in Japan. Hijiki comes as short black strings that are richly flavoured and make a satisfying dish when saut├®ed with vegetables or cooked and mixed with tofu or seeds.
