Seaweed is popular in Japan and China, but not commonly eaten in the UK. We feel that this is a shame, because seaweed is nutrient-rich, and useful source of minerals, protein and fibre. Seaweed can be added to a variety of meals including soups, stir-fries and stews. It has many amazing properties, which you can discover if you take a look through our pages.
Many people avoid seaweed because they imagine that it will taste fishy. But this is not the case. Seaweeds are all vegetables. There are a diverse range of seaweeds, with a variety of different tastes, just as there are with land-vegetables. Much of this seaweed grows wild in huge abundance in the sea, so it's a great natural food source, requiring no fertilizers.
