⦠As a simple side dish or salad with ponzu sauce (citrus-soy dressing).
⦠In sushi, sashimi platters, or atop rice.
⦠In Okinawan cuisine or as a garnish in various Japanese dishes.
⢠Nutritional aspects: Itās nutrient-dense, providing minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber (including prebiotic benefits for gut health), and is low in caloriesāoften praised as a healthy, superfood-like delicacy.
