A deeply satisfying mixture of Atlantic sea vegetables (Wakame, Nori, Dulse), from the award winning Algamar, in Spain. For more about them, please see the 'Further Info.' tab.
To prepare for two people: soak 10 grams of sea vegetable for 15 minutes with water and the juice of half a lemon. Meanwhile prepare the salad and add the sea vegetables at the end, dressing with plenty of olive, flax or hemp oil, or a dressing of your choice.
Sea vegetables are scientifically recognised as a food with a high nutritional value.
Since 1998, ALGAMAR has cooperated with the Spanish National Research Council (Department of Metabolism and Nutrition) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (Bromatology) and Complutense University of Madrid (Pharmacy) in carrying out various studies of the potential of native edible sea vegetables.
This is confirmed by research scientists who have studied Algamar's sea vegetables in Spain.
low calorie and fat content
high concentration of minerals, vitamins, proteins (essential amino acids) and fibre
high level of dietary fibre
high content of nutrients
"Algae are an optimum world source of food" (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas de España-1999).
A foodstuff rich in proteins, minerals, vitamins and other specific nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids. Noteworthy for its high content in minerals and trace elements. All the elements needed by the human body are found in sufficient quantities in algae.
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid- Spain -2001)
The results obtained show that these sea vegetables have:
A high mineral salts and dietary fibre content
An appreciable protein content
And a low overall lipid content
They therefore have the characteristics we look for in a healthy food. (University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain - 2008)
One of the oldest living beings on the planet, they are also one of the few wild vegetables - a true luxury in these times.
A natural resource that renews itself every year in the sea and is therefore a stable and sustainable food.
A SUMMARY OF THE PROPERTIES OF ATLANTIC SEA VEGETABLES
they dissolve excess fat
they are the largest source of mineral salts (calcium and iron, phosphorous, magnesium, etc.)
and trace elements (practically all of them, especially iodine, silicon, zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, etc.)
their high fibre content satisfies the appetite and has a (very) slight laxative effect, thus assisting passage through the intestines.
their amino acids complement the proteins of other foods;
they contain all the essential amino acids and nine non-essential ones.
they activate the defences, cleanse the body of toxins and strengthen bones, hair and nails.
