Vegans and veggies, have you discovered the wide world of?

Seaweed? I only ever ate nori that is in sushi. Recently, I discovered many other sea vegetables that are delicious. I made a great salad with wakame, and a stir fry with arame, and a soup stock (dashi) from kombu. I am delighted to have tasty new things to eat. Do you have any recipes?Vegans and veggies, have you discovered the wide world of?
Yes! I have kappa maki and yasai maki almost every weekend at the local sushi-bar. I love seaweed! I haven't yet tried the seaweed salad, but you've inspired me ... I'll ask for ingredients and try it this weekend.



I don't know if you're into making sushi rolls, but at the japanese restaurant I go to - they make an awesome roll out of seaweed, steamed rice, apples, mushrooms and cucumbers. You might want to try rolling that up ... it's delicious.
I love sea veggies too.

I'm surprised that a long term piscivore like yourself hasn't been eating lots of seaweed all along! You never noticed that weston price advocates eating seaweed and that mercola even sells it? WOW!



Now that you've learned about the world of seaweed just be careful and don't go overboard! Seaweed is worse than fish at concentrating heavy metals and the US doesn't really regulate (or test) seaweeds for contamination with heavy metals or bacteria. The heavy metals are really worrisome since symptoms of metal poisoning are often confused with allergy symptoms or other diseases like Crohn's or IBS. You might wish to have mercola or a reputable doctor run a full bioassy for toxic metals exposure since you've added sea plants to your diet of sea animals.



Here's the synopses for a couple of studies about metal in seaweed%26lt;g%26gt;.



Mercury in seaweed



Seaweed has long been recognized as a rich source of iodine. In recent years its medicinal properties have been promoted, leading to increased consumption worldwide. The benefits derivable from consuming seaweed, however, may be outweighed by negative properties, depending on where it was grown. Seaweed鈥檚 ability to absorb metals is not limited to beneficial ones. It is also rather good at absorbing arsenic, mercury, uranium, copper, molybdenum, aluminium, chromium and some radioactive isotopes. A small study of eight samples picked at random from, primarily, Japan and Norway, found worrying levels of mercury. The main value of the study is to highlight the need to regulate seaweed sales in much the same way as sales of vegetables and fruit.

Total arsenic, inorganic arsenic, lead and cadmium contents were determined in 112 samples of seaweed preparations sold in Spain (seaweed packed in plastic or cardboard box, seaweed in the form of tablets and concentrates, foods containing seaweed, and canned seaweed). The concentration ranges found, expressed in mg/kg, dry weight, were: total As (0.031-149), inorganic As (%26lt;0.014-117), Pb (%26lt;0.050-12.1) and Cd (%26lt;0.003-3.55). For all the contaminants there were failures to comply with legislated values. In particular, all the samples of Hizikia fusiforme exceeded the inorganic As limit established in some countries, and a considerable number of species exceeded the Cd limit set by international regulations. With respect to food safety, consumption of 3 g/day of the samples analysed could represent up to 15% of the respective Tolerable Daily Intakes (TDI) established by the WHO. The situation is especially alarming for intake of inorganic As from H. fusiforme, which can be three times the TDI established.
I once bought a pack of seaweed with pinenuts and it was yummy. Crispy seaweed is nice too (if you make it yourself!!!)
Yes, I love seaweed! It's thick and wobbly and fun and tasty. I'm guessing it's quite healthy, since it's so green, must have lots of chlorophyll.



I'm not keen to all the sea veggies there are, but I have enjoyed pickled seaweed in a Korean restaurant. It had sliced pickled onion mixed into it, but it didn't taste onioney, it just tasted pickled. The whole thing wasn't super tart pickled, not like dill pickles, but it was mildly pickled, and a little sweet.



I've had the seaweed that's present in miso soup, and of course the nori from sushi.



Other than that, I haven't indulged into sea veggies, but that's a good thing to look into.
i once had sushi i threw up but i got it from a walgreens in chicago thats never good news. but im going to try it again. i love stirfry im eating it right now
