Date: February 18, 2010 05:02PM I have eaten a few seaweeds with varying degrees of wrinkled nose?
Can you suggest a mild seaweed to get me started. Any UK brands would be helpful. Re: which seaweeds

Date: February 18, 2010 05:05PM Hey Flipper, i dont know if there raw the nori sheets are said to be.
the brand i use is clearspring. I use dulse(very nice most palatable as it just dissolves in your mouth), nori sheets for making raw mock sushi with just vegetables, wakame which is less palatable but very rich in magnesium. seaweeds are very important for the iodine which is hard to get elsewhere in sufficient quantities, also rich in other minerals/trace elements, polysaccharides that boost immune system, have been proven anti-cancer, aswell as detoxing heavy metals. The fibre helps feed your good flora acting as a prebiotic, the b vitamins help strengthen your nervous system. ran out of air lol ill prob edit the post with more, as you can see i love seaweed.

Date: February 19, 2010 12:59AM It's funny you should ask because I just went to a huge Asian supermarket last week and they had aisles of seaweed! I bought a ginormous bag of wakame, which I had never tried before. I ate it straight from the package as a snack, and then the next day I made a salad with it and chopped cabbage and cuke. I don't know specific brands in the UK but in the USA I buy Maine Coast brand at the health store. But this Korean brand was way cheaper. If you have an Asian enclave in your area, you may find some good deals on seaweed. Just make sure that it's really raw because I noticed that many of the Asian brands were toasted. I second the nori suggestion. It seems to be rather mild, also I do like dulse. Re: which seaweeds

holland & barrett sell a few types of seaweed now, eg dulse (which is lovely) wakame (my personal fave) and nori sheets (check they're not the toasted ones) (even the untoasted are not strictly raw, but pretty close). i would imagine independant health food shops sell them too, it's getting so popular nowadays. Also www.funkyraw.com sells Sea Spaghetti, big huge bags of it prob not as nice tasting as dulse but it looks really really like spaghetti! x

Date: February 19, 2010 02:51AM glasgow raw yoga i can only think your close to me in dundee haha small world.
asian markets and food stores are best as they dont mark up the goods like stores such as holland and barrett do. If your there and they have jiaogulan tea pick it up even ask them it will be marked in an asian name which i can give if needed. Great herb. Re: which seaweeds

Date: February 19, 2010 02:25PM I've tried all the Seaweeds. The best ones to eat Raw, or have
in Green Smoothies, are (1) Sea Lettuce (2) Sea Palm (3) Silky Sea Palm and (4) Dulse. All the others are too tough and rubbery for digestion. That's why so many of them have to be cooked in order to be edible....WY Re: which seaweeds

Date: February 19, 2010 05:42PM I add dulse flakes to all of my smoothies. And use raw nori in my vegi-sushi. I've also used wakame in salads as well as kelp noodles (Sea Tangles) and my first order of Sea Spaghetti is coming this week from Sirova.com, the main distributor in the US. I also use Arame from Whole Paycheck, whoops I mean Whole Foods. Though that is going to stop. Their pricing policy is outrageous.
