Greetings.
One of my bredren said that he loves seaweed salad. He was introduced to it at a raw food resturant in Washington. Does anyone know how to put one of these treats together?

My health food store sells Soken Sea Vegetable Salad, which is a half ounce serving of a seaweed salad @ $4.45. It has wakame, kuki wakame, akamodoki, akanori, and agar-agar. Here is a link to a picture of the package (its the very last picture). When you soak the dehydrated seaweed in water, it expands to a full size salad.

I sometimes buy bulk wakame, sea palm, kombu, dulse, hijiki, arame, and some local seaweeds to make my own salads.

As for veggies in the salad, I like to add cucumbers and celery.

Brian, is Hijiki cool for me to use if I am struggling with Candida? It's fine, right? or is it bad? Just curious because I love hijiki.

Greetings.
This seaweed combination you metioned sounds great. However, I am still not clear on how one may prepare it. Do you create any kind of special sauce? You see, I have never had one myself so I don't know nothing about seaweed salad, which is why I need help learning to create one!

Hey, me too! I've just got someone to bring some over from Spain, it's fairly cheap over there. I'll let you know if I find anyone else to bring me an order over. A friend of mine was trying to get a group of people together to put in a wholesale order with the Spanish supplier but we needed to order 50kg and he never got enough people.

ohh that sounds good Rob! I just checked, the stuff I get (wakame, kombu etc) comes in 50g bags/boxes, it's the fact that in comes wrapped in plastic, then boxed as well, that puts me off - all that packaging for a just a handful of seaweed! anything from 100g to 300g would be good, I reckon.

ooh I make the BEST seaweed salad -

I like the seaweeds that only require soaking for a couple minutes cuz I'm lazy - so hijiki and wakame (I think some wakame takes longer but I get the fast kind)

I start with a regular mixed green salad, add hijiki & wakame, then for flavor I toss on some of that commercially prepared seaweed salad that looks like jelly that you get at sushi places, then I add some lemon

I also add a shaved bonito & sesame seasoning - might be hard for most ppl to find though unless you have an Asian market nearby - just make sure you get the ones w/o MSG

I'd say 1/2-1 kg of mixed seaweed would be yummy

Yes, bonito is a form of dried tuna from what I found on the web.

Does anyone know of a source for sea spaghetti in the U.S.? I've found one website in Ireland that will ship internationally but I'd rather find a source in the U.S.

Hi Marcos,

I got some kelp noodles in the US, they from a company called Sea Tangle, they are made in California, and for the life of me I can't remember where I bought them. To tell the truth I'm not 100% sure if they are raw, but I wasn't able to find information that says they are cooked either.

Their website is www.kelpnoodles.com.

Cheers,
Ian.

Sodoff,

Judging by what I read I would say they are cooked but I did email them and will post their response when I get it.

I think they might be cooked as well. I openned the packet and tasted them the other day, they don't really taste of anything, a little while afterwards I notice a slight discormfort in my belly. They do look pretty, but I don't think I'll eat them again (maybe I'll give them another shot if the company claims they are raw).

I wonder what seaweeds could be made into raw noodles/pastas. Maybe something very light in color that could be cut up to look like pasta.

Ian.

I've recently learned that seaweeds are the filters of the oceans, and as such pick up a lot of the pollution, including the heavy metals that are in the oceans. It looks like I will be cutting my seaweed consumption way down.

This is the best, I love them. A lot of their stuff is raw too, and organic.

Actually,

All the raw seaweed I get comes from Maine Coast Sea Veggies and is certified organic and clean and free of pollutants.

Their website is [seaveg.com]

All of their packaged seaweed is raw but, if you're after nori sheets they have raw and cooked so look carefully.

Not sure Ian. I guess they could run seaweed through a homegenizer attachment of spaghetti attachment and then it come out all spaghettie like.
