PURPOSE:To prepare a curled dry WAKAME (Undaria pinnatifida, an edible seaweed) free of sharp edges at the ends, and having excellent flexibility, flowability and packaging suitability, by drying a WAKAME sheet at a low temperature under rolling. CONSTITUTION:A curled dry WAKAME which is composed of rolled leaf free from sharp edges at the ends of the roll, and has a specific bulk volume of e.g. <62cc, preferably <53cc, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the specific bulk volume of <17cc, preferably <8cc, and an angle of repose of <50 deg., preferably <46 deg.. is prepared by cutting WAKAME to the size suitable for cooking when reconstituted with water, and heating at a low temperature, i.e. at about 40-80 deg.C in the drying process under rolling during the period when the water-content of the WAKAME is about 30-50wt%. |
