Definitions
noun
Undaria pinnatifida, a sea plant native to Japan and Korea and invasive elsewhere; wakame; Asian kelp.
We previously reported that water extract of Mekabu, a kind of seaweed, induced apoptosis in a human breast cancer cell line.
Stems or thick leaves from near the stem of the plant, eaten as a vegetable.
Mekabu is the flowering sprout of wakame. It has a strong, sweet, and creamy taste and is traditionally brewed into a tea or cooked in small amounts with other foods.
Forget crispy fried nori or pliant hijiki: mekabu comes in a coating of—there's no other word for it—goo. As one chews, it starts to expand, until suffocation starts to seem like a real possibility.
