Seaweed Salad - To Jade21 & Karen

Hi, Jen!Welcome to Hair Boutique and I hope you will post often. So many people help each other here and it's always a pleasure to have new folks.About the seaweed salad. Actually, Karen did not give me any recipe in relation to seaweed salad. I purchase the seaweed salad in the fish department from my local Fresh Fields/Whole Foods store. I found this to be an excellent way of getting the trace minerals from the sea. I could not take kelp tablets, which Karen recommended for hair growth, because they acted as a laxative on me.The salad to which I refer is the fresh salad which has been frozen for transport. The sun-dried varieties which Fresh Fields also carries in another department, if I am correct in what you have written, are freeze-dried in a package with a variety of choices available, brown to purple seaweed. You can sprinkle these in soups and salads. Some people use these as a salt substitute. I don't use these, but I am sure that you could try them. The principle is the same and the fact that they have been freeze-dried is good because the nutrients are intact.A friend of mine recently told me about a place in Maine where she gets these seaweed chip snacks. She likes them a lot and they are very nutritious. She did a search on the Internet. I have yet to try these.But, I would definitely recommend the fresh-frozen seaweed salad from Fresh Fields/Whole Foods. It is a tasty delight with a touch of onion, garlic and red bell peppers. I was constantly snacking on that salad. I think I must have had at least 1 and sometimes 2 servings per day. I credit the salad to my friend the fisherman from British Columbia. He gave me the sample and recommended it highly just for a great snack. Yes, the fisherman from British Columbia also works at the fish department at Fresh Fields/Whole Foods. I miss him these days because he's gone back to sea:) He definitely knew his fish:)Hope this helps...JadeHi everyone this is my first time at the board. I had> a question.
