In 2008 the government-funded Food Innovation Project approved Seagreens as a healthy replacement for salt.

Seagreens Asco Medium Grans"One of my favourite ingredients, Seagreens, is a UK produced wild wrack seaweed granules that have a complete nutritional profile - ie. it contains all the vitamins and minerals the body needs. It adds texture, flavour and nutrition to just about any savoury dish you can think of. It is expensive, but you only need a little - one teaspoon per serving is ample"
- Kate Wood, author of Raw Living ('detox your life and eat the high energy way'), Grub Street, London, August 2007

Use sparingly to add a highly nutritious taste of the wild to many dishes. Consumers describe a subtle nutty taste and texture in taste tests. Half a teaspoon adds a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals and will enrichen the flavour of something as plain as broccoli soup.

SeagreensBut does it taste any good?

Too right: pep up the blandest of pizzas, put some poke into the most industrial of builders' breakfasts, or mix it with dried flaked chilli for an offshore combo that would bring Jacques Cousteau to the surface- Nigel Bardon, Maxim magazine, England, August 1998.

In a family sized loaf add a level tablespoon and leave out the salt. Use it in seafood dishes, with bacon and eggs, in risottos and casseroles; sprinkle it on pizzas and among sliced potatoes and cheese; with baked vegetables; as seasoning in stocks and sauces. A baked potato filling becomes a nutritious meal, and if you're going to enjoy fish and chips, pass the seaweed is a must!
