In 1867 the word "wakame" first appeared in an English-language publication, A Japanese and English Dictionary,

by James C. Hepburn. 
Starting in the 1960s, the word "wakame" started to be used widely in the United States, and the product 

(imported in dried form from Japan) became widely available at natural food stores and Asian-American grocery

stores, due to the influence of the macrobiotic movement, and in the 1970s with the growing number of Japanese

restaurants and sushi bars.

Wakame fronds are green and have a subtly sweet flavour and slippery texture. The leaves should be cut into

small pieces as they will expand during cooking. 

In China, it is called qundaicai. 
In Korea, it is called miyeok and used in salads or soup. 
In French, it is called "fougere des mers".
