How to get the value of dropdown in Materialize

Is it possible to get the value of selected dropdown in materialize? I know there are other methods like "Select"... But I specifically I want to use Dropdowns ....

This is my code: 

.right-triangle {
    float: right;
}

.dropdown-nested {
    overflow-y: visible;
}

.dropdown-content .dropdown-content {
    margin-left: 100%;
}
