Ingredients: Dried Hijiki sea vegetable (Hijikia fusiforme)
Due to the nature of this product, this pack may contain a trace amount of fish, molluscs and/or crustaceans.
Guidance from food safety authorities suggests limiting consumption of Hijiki to 5g dry weight per week. Sea vegs are naturally rich in iodine. People sensitive to the effects of iodine are advised to seek medical advice before consuming this product.
Hijiki is a distinctive jet-black sea vegetable that grows on the ocean floor in long thin strands. It is most widely popular as an ingredient in Japanese cuisine. It is naturally rich in flavour with a delicate texture. Its colour contrasts beautifully with other vibrant ingredients and works wonderfully well when combined with grains and other vegetables.
