observer Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Anyone tried it? According to Ray Mears it contains loads of vitimins etc, and supposed to be good for us, as the Welsh have discovered with their lava bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I've tried the crispy stuff from the chinese and it is delicious but apparently that's not really seaweed at all but simply fried cabbage or similar. I don't think I'd like to eat the stinky seaweed that washes up on the uk beaches even if it is really full of vitamins, minerals, cotton buds with the gooddness of ear wax and the likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Seems seaweed is good for the soil too and keeps the slugs at bay - so perhaps a good reason to visit the seaside on a rainy day?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Seaweed is traditionally big here in Ireland; they sell it sometimes at farmers markets. Too costly for me, and yes, well known for being fine for gardens. It has to be the stuff from below the tide levels to be of use. Will be gathering some soon.. Off parts of the Scottish coast whole families used to gather one kind they called "tangles"; it was used in the pharmeceutical industry fore eg Gaviscon... Sadly they found the Japanese could do it more cheaply and another ancient tradition died.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
