Algae are the "food of the future"! They grow much faster than land plants and don't require valuable agricultural land. They are also low in calories and packed with protein, carbohydrates, vitamin B12, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
So they're healthy and convenient. But that's not all. We love seaweed, above all, because it's so delicious!
We're particularly fond of Poisson d'Ouest's creations. We use two of them in the quick and easy recipes below.
Have fun trying it out and bon appétit!
