Arame is a dried, black-brown sea vegetable. It does not have a very strong seaweed flavour and is therefore an excellent entry point to the world of seaweeds. It is an excellent source of iodine and high in iron and calcium. Some say that the lustrous shiny hair Japanese women have is partly due to their regular diet of brown sea vegetables such as arame.
Arame is available from health food stores or Asian grocers.
