Among the popular edible algae, a plant with the intricate name Chuka occupies a special place. From Japanese, this word is literally translated as " brought from China". The Japanese themselves call this product hiyashi wakame. One of the most popular and simple dishes of Japanese cuisine is Chuka salad, whose beneficial properties are associated with a rich composition.

  Wukipedia writes about Chuk algae as a representative of aquatic flora from a biological point of view. They belong to the group of brown algae found in shallow water in China, Japan and Russia. They are not difficult to obtain, since such algae do not fall below 100 m. Thanks to freezing and fermentation technologies, Wakame can be easily delivered worldwide to countries where it does not grow.

The diet of the wealthy nobility of Japan was significantly different from the food that the poor consumed. For example, beef, pork, and most seafood were not available last. More often than not, poor people ate what they cultivated or mined themselves. It was the peasants who discovered for Japanese cuisine such a product as Chuka algae, the benefits of which later became undeniable. Later they became the hallmark of Asian folk cooking and infiltrated the most expensive restaurants in the world.
