Badasoop Seaweed Salad Key Ingredients
Glueweed (Gloiopeltis furcata)
Known for its unique pink-purplish hue, this red algae has a thicker in the stem than its cousin 'saemogasari’ (gloiopeltis tenax). Only hand harvested in small quantities, this uncommon seaweed is one of the most sought after in Korea and Japan.
Gloiopeltis Tenax
This rare seaweed is impossible to farm, but rather grows by attaching itself to rocks on the shorelines of only the cleanest ocean waters. Hand harvested in limited quantities, gloiopeltis tenax is especially popular in the Japanese market.
Mekabu
The ruffled, flowering sprout located at the base of the Wakame, is rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
Gracilaria
A red algae known for its crispy texture like a celery with a slightly salty and piquant taste. This long, thin seaweed, commonly called “noodle of the ocean,” only grows in the cleanest ocean water.
Kombu
This Kombu, from the clean ocean waters of southern South Korea, is hand-harvested at knee height to maintain its deep, clear green hue, before being cleaned, cut and dried with no added salt.
Wakame
The leafy part of the Wakame provides a salty yet subtly sweet flavor. The freshest wakame maintains a strong smell of the sea. Rich in iodine, calcium, and other vitamins and minerals, wakame is known to help stimulate liver function, removing toxins and improving blood circulation.
Agar
This jelly-like Agar is made from the red algae umutgasari (gelidium amansii) and 100% natural 100% Korean ingredients.
