Welcome to The Cornish Seaweed Company Blogspot.



I have enjoyed foraging for wild food for years, and became increasingly fascinated by the unique nutritional properties of seaweed, which most people disregard as something annoyingly slimy on the shore.

Surprisingly, we do not enjoy a culture of seaweed-eating in England, unlike in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and of course the far East.

Those who do enjoy the unusual flavours and massive health benefits of seaweed generally buy from suppliers who import their bounty from Japan.

This seemed utterly foolish to me, living on this finger of land, famed for its beaches and coves and surrounded by incalculable amounts of life-enhancing sea vegetables, at a time when we are all concerned about diminishing resources, and reducing our food-miles.

So The Cornish Seaweed Company was created.

The seaweed is picked carefully by hand, washed in seawater and dried in the sun to preserve all the precious nutrients.

I believe whole-heartedly in the huge value of seaweed as a food supplement and have discovered in the process of experimenting with recipes and including seaweed in my daily diet that my health and vitality has improved enormously.


I are delighted to share this secret with you!
