1. Extremely low in calories with only about five calories per serving with minimal fat.
2. Although high in sodium, it’s a good source of other minerals including magnesium, iodine, calcium, and iron.
3. It’s also high in vitamins A, C, E, and K as well as folate and riboflavin.
4. It’s also a source of lignans which are thought to play a role in preventing certain types of cancer, particularly breast cancer.
5. In fact, a study published in the journal Cancer Science in 2005 demonstrated that wakame seaweed effectively suppressed growth of breast tumors in rats.
6. Another area of interest relating to the health benefits of wakame seaweed is its role in promoting WEIGHT LOSS. A study carried out in Japan and presented at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in September of 2008 showed that an ingredient found in this vegetable known as fucoxanthin promoted weight loss in rate by increasing the rate at which fat is broken down. The rats who received the wakame seaweed lost up to ten percent of their body weight. Although studies have yet to be conducted on humans, researchers are optimistic.
The dressing will be Japanese dressing. You can you any dressings you want. It's really flexible!
Finally, add in the steamed wakame and tofu into your salad and add in some almond nibs and the dressing!
It's so refreshing dish!
