Description
It is a brown algae of the Chromista species. It is a habitat-forming species that dominates the shallow rocky subtidal. Due to its vulnerability and restricted distribution in these forests, Eisenia should be considered a protected species. This species, with the appearance of a bush or tree, reaches about 2.5 m in length and is attached to the rocky substrate by a solid disk that is up to 20 cm high, is irregular in shape and is formed by hapteriums fused together. From this disc, between 1 and 30 thick, rigid, slightly flattened stipes originate. Each stipe branches 3 to 4 times in a dichotomous or subdichotomous manner.

Arame is a seaweed widely consumed in Asian countries, especially in Japan. It is meatier than wakame and has a milder flavor, which makes it suitable for any palate. It is difficult to find it fresh and the most common thing is to buy it dehydrated, which forces us to subject it to a rehydration process, which is simple and fast, as 10 or 15 minutes of immersion in warm water is enough. The rehydration water is usually discarded.
Although arame can be incorporated as an ingredient in hot dishes, it is more common for it to be eaten in salads, particularly mixed among other ingredients with seeds and sesame oil, which combines very well.
Arame is very rich in mineral salts and fiber, and low in fat, which makes it a very healthy and highly recommended ingredient. It is rich in alginate, an important culinary thickener, an ingredient for which it is also cultivated and collected.
