Seaweed on designer dinner menu
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Seaweed, redolent with memories of seaside holidays and apparently better for you than ice cream and candy floss, is bidding to become the next designer ingredient for the country's dinner tables.
Two varieties, sea lettuce and dulse, are going on sale at Tesco, and are recommended for an extra kick in dishes ranging from pasta and chicken to scrambled egg.
Sea lettuce, delicate green and feathery, is said to be good for wrapping fish and meat during cooking - or eating as a salad in a marinade of lemon juice and olive oil.
Dulse, which comes in rich red ribbons, is recommended for enhancing pasta dishes, soups, salads and "works particularly well" with chicken, according to Tesco.
