Are Seaweeds really fit to eat?
A. Sea Vegetables do unfortunately suffer from an image problem. This maybe because we associate them with the washed-up debris we find on our holiday beach rather than with freshly harvested wild plants growing in luxuriant forests in clean ocean waters. This tainted image is as far from reality as a compost bin is from a field of ripening corn! Sea Vegetables have been enjoyed since ancient times and are renowned for their abundance of minerals as well as for a variety of health-giving properties. Whilst their use has declined in the West, Sea Vegetables have remained popular in Japan. The Japanese still harvest record amounts from around their lengthy coastline and regularly include them in their everyday meals. Back to topQ.
