Low Temperature Dried Organic Alaria (alaria Esculenta)

Our Wild Alaria comes directly to you without processing or washing out any of its mineral richness. Please check for occasional tiny hidden pebbles or shells in the fronds. Some plants may be partially covered with a white powder of natural salts and sugars that precipitate from their cells during storage. To, minimize, seal unused plants in this ziplock out of sunlight, heat or moisture. Alaria is at best cooked, but the thin edges of the frond will be tender before the central midrib. To reduce cooking time (usually 20 min.), cut out these midribs altogether, or cook them separately. Or pressure cook the whole plant for 5-6 min. Pre-soaking for 1-12 hrs. or pre-roasting for 3 min. at 300 degrees will also reduce usual cooking time by 5-10 min.
