A beautifully photographed, innovative guide to edible seaweed and sea vegetables. On the cutting edge of food and sustainability, seaweed and sea vegetables are good both for you and – with the potential to drastically reduce our carbon footprint – for the planet. Ocean Greens is the all-in-one guide to the most kitchen-ready varieties of this remarkable food – wakame, kombu, agar, samphire, nori, and many others. Authors Lisette Kreischer and Marcel Schuttelaar share insights on the nutrition, taste, and harvesting of each, as well as 50 vegan recipes.
Originally published in 2015 in Dutch as Groente uit Zee.
