  • Well known in the Irish tradition as a "salty" snack. Very common in the old times
  • High in Vitamin B12 and Iron would be recommended in vegan and vegetarian diets, where the lack of these elements are one of major problems
  • All red seaweed contain Beta Carotenes - very useful to prevent viral attacks
  • Not always accepted for its peculiar taste; is very useful to enhance flavour in fish recipes.
  • When mixed with flour, baked in bread or mixed in hand made pasta, the taste will be totally neutralised
