Munch a Bunch of Seaweed

Farming can be hard work.  Why bother to sow when you can simply reap Neptune’s bounty?

Forget fish, crabs, shrimp, lobsters and the like.  There’s a quick and renewable resource within easier reach, and that delicacy is seaweed.

Having once been a routine part of European diets, this “healthy and sustainable source of protein” remains a staple within “some Asian countries.”  No need to freeze those leftovers - for centuries they’ve been used for “fuel, fertilizer, or to feed livestock.”

Don’t like your seaweed wet and sloppy?  Try munching on some crisp dulse or crinkly nori.  Just steer clear of rotting algae and so-called “stinging seaweed” (the latter of which is actually composed of bacteria).
