Atlantic Kitchen Organic Seaweed Spaghetti. Superfood Of The Sea. 50g

Product Information

Whilst it’s cooking, thinly slice the rest of lemon and cut out little triangle segments. These not only make excellent decoration, but add flavour. If you can get permission, then taking a small amount shouldn’t be a problem – use scissors to remove part of each specimen (don’t tear up the whole thing) so that you’re leaving plenty behind to regrow and replenish. Wash it thoroughly in several changes of water before using or drying to grind up and use later.

Clearspring’s authentic Japanese Sea Vegetable Salad is a combination of three delicious sea vegetables: Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida), Agar (Gelidium spp.), Aka Tsunomata (Chondrus ocellatus). Unlike some similar and mass-market products available on the market, all the ingredients are unbleached and undyed, and only of the highest quality. Traditionally Sea Spaghetti – Himanthalia elongata– was collected and burnt alongside kelp for the potash industry or used as a fertilizer.Dulse is the best known of the UK’s edible seaweeds (after the Welsh specialty, laverbread), for the simple fact that once rinsed it can be treated a bit like cabbage and cooked as a side or added to mashed potato. It has a savoury, salty, slightly smokey flavour and is sometimes said to taste like bacon! Dulse is characterised by flat red fronds that float when submerged and which can grow up to 50cm long. The recommended 30g portion of Sea Spaghetti is rich in the bone strengthening minerals calcium and magnesium, providing 35 percent of the RDI for calcium and 55 percent of the RDI for magnesium. These minerals are essential to the integrity of bone structure and strong, healthy teeth. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and season with salt and a little rice wine vinegar and leave for half an hour.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry the strips of gurnard for about 3 minutes. Turn them over, fry for 1 minute more, then season with salt and pepper.

Clearspring Japanese Agar Flakes is free from any bleaching chemical or softening agents. Almost all commercial agar-agar is made using sulphuric acid to dissolve the starches, and chemical bleaches and dyes to neutralise the colour and flavour of the sea vegetable. However, a few small craft producers, such as the family who make Clearspring Japanese Agar Flakes, still use the traditional slow method. grams of Sea Spaghetti provides 90 percent of the RDI for vitamin A. The vitamin A found in this seaweed is in the form of beta carotene, a compound that has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. It got me thinking: why not do this in England?’ says Caro. ‘And it made perfect sense to team up with Tim [co-founder] as we both share a love of the sea and enjoy spending time outdoors.’

Sea Spaghetti – Himanthalia elongata– is a brown seaweed / algae from the lower shore. It is found on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean, from the Baltic Sea , through the North Sea and as far south as Portugal. Description : Clearspring has offered a range of Japanese Sea Vegetables including Sushi Nori, Wakame and Arame right from its start in 1993. Clearspring’s range features several nori products from Kyushu in Japan, which includes Toasted Sushi Nori and Toasted Nori Strips, both of which are ready to use. We also have untoasted Nori sheets which require a brief toasting over a gas flame or electric burner until the nori sheet turns a vibrant green. It is then ready to be used to make sushi rolls or to cut with scissors into quarters and used for wrapping rice balls. You can even cut them into thin strips and use the nori as a tasty garnish for grains, noodles, soups, and salads.

Simply melt the grated cheese in with the lamb and sea spaghetti and cook for a minute on low heat so that it all blends together and serve (I cannot recall if I used another cheese to dilute this strong flavour) – but if you prefer something milder add another cheese into the mix. There are other seaweeds with long strands such as mermaid’s tresses/bootlace weed, but thong weed is notable by its flattened, solid structure whereas the former is a hollow tube. As with all seaweeds, a very high iodine content means that those with thyroid issues or taking thyroid medication should take great care if increasing their seaweed intake, letting their healthcare provider know.

When the thyroid is compromised, symptoms can include unexplained weight loss/gain, fatigue, hair loss and dry skin. As with all seaweeds, sea spaghetti is very high in minerals and salts due to needing to retain enough water in a very saline environment. This makes it a wonderful tonic food, important in the maintenance of a thriving nervous, immune and just about every other body system. Consume in moderation – see the safety section above. Clinically (by medical herbalists), seaweeds are often used for skin and skeletal issues. The tentacles are missing what the SERPENT researchers called "side branches," which means that the spaghetti monster is most likely the side branchless B. conifer. In addition to its many other strange parts, the critter also has ptera, or wings, which are located on the top part of the animal near the bulbous pneumatophore. The ptera are also used by the gastrozooids, but not to catch food, said Munro, who noted that the wings might be used to help the animal move through the water. We often say during the briefing at the start of a coasteering session “if it looks green and slippery, red and slippery, or brown and slippery, then it’s probably slippery – so don’t step on it!” Clearspring authentic Japanese Wakame is hand-harvested in the clear mineral-rich waters off the coast of Japan. It is then washed, hung on ropes, and left to slowly dry in the sun. Unlike most commercial wakame, Clearspring Wakame is not treated with softening agents such as enzymes or monosodium glutamate (MSG).Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is the best-known sea vegetable from the North Atlantic and its versatility and ease of use make it a popular choice for a wide variety of dishes.

Its subtle combination of salty and nutty flavours makes it the perfect addition to a whole host of dishes. The short spaghetti-like strips can simply and conveniently be added to pastas, soups, salads, stews, pies, and casseroles. The first dish I played with was a delicious ‘Spaghetti’ Carbonara. It has been a while since I made this so the recipe might be a tad vague, but following the measurements of a standard carbonara recipe substituting spaghetti for Himanthalia elongata (Sea Spaghetti) you cannot go far wrong. Here is another take on a traditional based dish and this one is one of my favourites. This meal was almost completely wild and foraged with the prime ingredients being: My own free range goat meat, fairy ring champignons, scarlet elf cups, wild garlic, alexanders and lesser celandine. Of course you can substitute these ingredients with whatever you have around you – the sea spaghetti is the star of the show here.
