Cookbook author and Seaweed Queen, Yumi Komatsudaira, explores the top Japanese Superfoods and gives a brief explanation of each, teaching us how these nutrient-packed foods can be incorporated into our daily lifestyle.
Superfoods are the life-giving ingredients that our bodies need for balance, wellness, healing, and longevity. Cholesterol-reducing, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, gut-healthy--the list of their benefits goes on and on. The Japanese--who face fewer health issues, less obesity and have longer lifespans than those in other countries--have long known the power of these key ingredients.
Komatsudaira is a recipe developer, food stylist, culinary instructor and the president of K-Seaweed, a leading ocean greens provider for more than 60 years. She grew up outside Tokyo, playing--and snacking--in her family's seaweed factory. Now based in New York, she travels to Japan often promoting seaweed and its health benefits.
