Atlantic Wakame has a light, translucent, clear color and texture. It is usually silvery grey in color and has rich, intense shades of copper and reddish browns. Its surface is usually blemish-free, since it is not glossy and the grey color is not affected by oxidation, the way that commercial silver and gold cookware are. Atlantic Wakame is high quality, finely textured natural salmon extract which is used to make highly refined, artisanal food.
