- gotofritz 10y ago> All Smith needs to do is to invent a new cuisine based on filter feeders and seaweed That's the problem - I'd love to eat more, but a lot of it it's just not appetising. Eating the salads you get in Korean / Japanese restaurants is like eating soft leather.
- dghughes 10y agoOn an episode of chef Anthony Bourdain a chef in China or Japan (I forget) said the western palate doesn't consider a rubber texture mouth feel appealing like Asian countries. They discussing and were eating a sea cucumber with a rubbery texture. Then again dulce a seaweed is a food in the Canadian Maritimes it's not common but enough that most people have heard of it.
- mrob 10y ago> Seaweed can be rich in protein, Vitamin B12, and trace minerals. The USDA nutrient database lists 8 types of seaweed. Only one of these these ("Canadian Cultivated EMI-TSUNOMATA") contains B12, and it appears to be a proprietary land-cultivated strain of Irish moss, so hardly representative of normal seaweed. The generic Irish moss is also listed with zero B12.
- ars 10y agoPlants are not able to make B12. Only bacteria and archaea are able to do that. So either it's a some kind of symbiosis, or they are mixing it in afterward.
- huxley 10y agoI believe it's still pretty common to use a form of seaweed called Irish Moss as a thickener in ice cream.
