This is pretty neat, I can remeber as a child this old lady coming to the beach & gathering fresh seaweed.

Mmmmmm, my favorite part of sushi is the seaweed! I LOVE nori, especially the teriyaki nori snacks. I put it in my soup too!

pickled kelp and kelp relish were some of my favorites as a kid.

My tribe (Yurok,N.Calif) still eat a lot of seaweed. They form it into little pie shaped rounds and sun dry it. I hate to say it but they look like cow pies. LOL They would dip it in the oil of lamprey eels, salmon, or sea lions. (in the old days)

It's in everything. Obviously in things like sushi, but it's in shampoo, food, all sorts of things. Usually listed as alginate, agar, carrageenan, etc.

From the Wiki page: The food industry exploits the gelling, water-retention, emulsifying and other physical properties of these hydrocolloids. Agar is used in foods such as confectionery, meats and poultry products, desserts and beverages and moulded foods. Carrageenan is used in preparation of salad dressings and sauces, dietetic foods, and as a preservative in meat and fish products, dairy items and baked goods. Alginates enjoy many of the same uses as carrageenan, but are also used in production of industrial products such as paper coatings, adhesives, dyes, gels, explosives and in processes such as paper sizing, textile printing, hydro-mulching and drilling.

And it's in medicine, too.

And it's for dinner tonight here at home. We're having Spam Musubi and miso soup with seaweed threads.

The headlines elsewhere on similar stories was that the dating of Monte Verde has been confirmed. That’s big news.
