Some fun facts about seaweed:

"Seaweed is the umbrella term for the entire group of macroalgae that live in salt water, brackish water, or freshwater. Algae can be divided into two groups: microalgae (unicellular organisms, like chlorella) and macroalgae (multicellular organisms, like seaweed). ... It's estimated that multicellular seaweeds came into existence about 1.2 billion years ago."

Christine Rad - thanks for sharing! My marine biologist/SCUBA diver/surfer husband (who has more than once said “I should definitely be harvesting seaweed for us to eat...”) will be getting this for Christmas for sure! 🌊 🌱 🍽 6y
queerbookreader @Christine I've heard it argued that seaweed is super sustainable!! I get kombu and wakame from the Asian market in my city and make stocks with the kombu & seaweed salads with the wakame 😋 6y

I got sent this one from Shelf Awareness. Not gonna lie, it didn't sound great. But the authors did a surprisingly good job of making seaweed look/sound appetizing!
