What does ARAME mean in Scrabble?
noun
An edible brown seaweed with a mild, slightly sweet flavor, widely used in Japanese cooking after being dried and shredded into thin strands.
Arame is harvested from cold coastal waters, then boiled, dried, and cut into fine dark strands that look a little like shoelaces before they are soaked and cooked. Its flavor is milder than many other sea vegetables, which has helped arame become a common ingredient in Japanese side dishes, salads, and simmered vegetable mixtures outside Japan as well. Cooks usually soak dried arame briefly to soften it before sauteing or simmering it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other vegetables. Nutritionally, arame is valued for its minerals, particularly iodine, much like other edible seaweeds.
