What is the difference between wakame and sea

The difference between wakame and kelp is: different varieties, different appearance, different taste, different nutrition.

1. Different varieties

Undaria pinnatifida belongs to pteryceae and Undaria pinnatifida. It is a seaweed that grows in temperate oceans. It can tolerate relatively high water temperatures and belongs to one-year-old seaweed plants. The growth of kelp is affected by light and temperature. It belongs to perennial seaweed.

2. Different appearance

The larvae of Undaria pinnatifida are very similar to those of kelp, but their appearance is obviously different from that of kelp when they grow up. A whole piece of Undaria pinnatifida looks like a big broken sunflower fan, while kelp looks very complete and thick due to its growth environment. It is a long flat leaf with no long handle in the middle. The whole body is olive brown and turns dark brown after drying.

3, taste different

The taste of kelp is generally crisp and tough, and it takes a long time to cook, so it is often used to stew or cook soup. However, Undaria pinnatifida is much better than kelp, while its entrance is dense and delicate. Its taste is softer than kelp and has some sweet taste. Therefore, it is often used to blanch and blanch in boiling water and make cold dishes.

4, nutrition is different

The iodine element of kelp is much higher than that of wakame. Every 100 grams of fresh kelp can provide about 110 micrograms of iodine. In addition, the content of dietary fiber and minerals is also higher than that of wakame.
