Just as happened with yoga, it was New York that opened my eyes to a multitude of gastronomies from other cultures such as the Asian culture, organic markets, and broadened my horizons in terms of food. A whole new world which I immersed myself in with specialised books and magazines, and which over time I have incorporated into my daily life.<\/p>\n

Seaweed<\/strong> is one of the foods that I discovered there and this post is dedicated to it. It has excellent properties that do wonders for our body. These sea vegetables<\/strong> are rich in nutrients, minerals and antioxidants, especially iodine, which means they are a perfect post-exercise food.<\/p>\n

Below I explain some of my favourite seaweed<\/strong>, and how I use them in my cooking:<\/p>\n

M Y\u00a0 F A V O U R I T E\u00a0 S E A W E E D S<\/p>\n

Nori<\/strong>. It is rich in protein and contains virtually no fats. I was recommended to use this one when cooking for children, and I add tiny pieces to my daughters\u2019 meals so that they find their texture more pleasant.<\/p>\n

Wakame<\/strong>. It is a great source of calcium, iodine, iron, potassium and A, B and C group vitamins.<\/p>\n

Hijiki<\/strong>. This seaweed has a very special flavour, but it is perhaps not for everyone\u2019s palate. For me it is an absolute delicacy. It is rich in iron and contains a lot of the B vitamins.<\/p>\n

M E A L\u00a0 S U G G E S T I O N<\/p>\n

– Stews: I cut the seaweed into very small pieces and add it to lentil and chickpea stews.<\/p>\n

– Seaweed salad (my favourite is hijiki) which I season with a sesame topping and rice vinegar dressing.<\/p>\n

– Brown rice. I add the seaweed<\/strong> to the water when cooking rice to give it flavour and to provide the body with minerals. A master in macrobiotics recommended it to me.<\/p>\n

– Miso soup. A classic dish that contains seaweed<\/strong>. Seaweed is an essential ingredient in this soup, as I explained in this post<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

– Fish soup with seaweed<\/strong> which I make by boiling all the fish bones and heads that I keep; I then add tofu and thin whole-wheat noodles. One of our favourite soups at home.<\/p>\n

\"Verduras<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to finish this text about algae<\/strong> by sharing a small reflection: the sea provides wonderful food, it is a huge reason to raise awareness about and look after our seas. We are the solution.<\/p>\n
