“With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you're connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live.”

— Sylvia Earle, American oceanographer

sea vegetables, huh?

————————

Sea vegetables are an important missing link in the plant-based diet. They are readily available at natural food stores across the country, but that aisle is often neglected. I have to admit that sea vegetables are an acquired taste. When I first starting eating them, I could barely get them down. Now I have found ways to make them more appealing and appetizing. Each one has a different taste, texture, and smell. At the natural food store, you can find dulse, kelp, and nori shakers that make sneaking sea veggies into your diet very easy. Most of the recipes in this section are great for sea-veg newbies.
