Inhaltsangabe

There is more to seaweed than as a wrapper for sushi – it is going mainstream, gathering many high profile fans, even Jamie Oliver has credited adding seaweed to his diet as one reason for his weight loss. This super food is a low-calorie source of protein and fiber; is richer in trace minerals and vitamins than kale; and contains all kinds of goodness including vitamin C, iodine, and antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is delicious as a snack, added to soups, in omelets, tossed through pasta, made into pesto and is a fabulous accompaniment to fish. The seaweeds used in the book are found all over the Northern hemisphere and have been harvested for centuries in North America, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Greenland, Siberia, Norway and France.
