Are they like mushrooms? I wipe them down before including them in soup
I'm making where they're getting soaked anyway.

Thanks!

who sez? I think you need to briefly rinse it to get rid of extra salt
or something; it definitely is not like fresh mushrooms (which soak up
extra water and give it back out while cooking making a soggy dish).

because you will wash away that which you are extracting, viz. glutamic
acid, the natural monosodium glutamate,
and you are right, its not like fresh mushroom, 'cause its a seaweed.
