I only knew it was tasty that's the reason i use it diakndakns I feel like westerners only care about if it's good for your health and the enviroment, Asians just eat what they think is tasty and it's mostly healthy stuff XP
It grows EXTREMELY quickly so that's a great thing.. I like kelp but not that I can all the time so put it in capsules.. The health benefits are just amazing..
While I don't see how kelp would be the magical cure to climate change, I still found the documentary interesting, and both the interviewer and interviewee were enjoyable to listen to. Overall good job!
Kelp tastes actually rely good and I keep adding it to my dishes more and more. It is the dry kind and I do get it for free. But I do collect kelp off the beach and have feed the rabbits and goats and pigs and even my dogs like it.
Here's a recipe. Mix raw kelp with chopped ginger, chile peppers (the hotter the better), lime, onions or shallots and some garlic. You can do this with fresh fish too. Don't worry, we eat this in SE Asia.
people are talking about kelp taste. but I'd like to teach something, taste is acquired by learning, like cheese, snails, kelp, or other things. stop being ignorant ...
Well doesn't matter if it tastes good or bad. He makes $250k a year as a fisherman, and maybe you can use it for animal feed or just sell it to whole foods/amazon, they'll eat anything.
Americans consume multiple forms of seaweed as additives to some foods one of the most popular and known to all as carrageenan is actually seaweed so what's the big deal we already eat it I think this is more of the way to try and force normal meat eaters to be ostracized and forced to eat something they don't necessarily want to eat free choices the option
ribeiro j wow okay. I don't want to be a grammar nazi but that was really hard to read.... Also, he didn't even have a hypothesis. It was an assumption, just like how you JUST made an assumption about the origins of his perspective. So it may have hurt you for him to say that, but remember, you unknowingly generalise people on a regular as well. You just don't know it.
Kelp is astonishing to study. It can be in food cosmetic and many more. So much potential and now it could be possibly used as fuel. It's crazy and it could be used to save the world.
What he is doing is great. Seaweed can be used as animal feed and fertilizer. Seaweed fed beef, animal products, and crops have less methane and carbon footprint and more minerals and they are healthy for both environment and human.
In chile we have a lot of kelped based foods, there are some baby teething chewables, ceviche, empanadas, paella, etc. You can get really creative and if you dont like it you wont even notice it
Asian people (especially Korean, Japanese, and Chinese) consumes a lot of kelp, thats for sure. The problem is, the kelp that the fisherman's growing isn't the type they eat.
What type do they eat and what typed are they growing? I know there are massive natural kelp farms off of most of the west coast of California. It's why the water is so dark. You can easily see them from air planes when you fly over them. That said, plenty of great white sharks also live in them so happy farming in a great white shark den lol.
In English, it's called Kombu, or in more professional term, called Saccharina japonica. The one that the fisherman's growing? Not really sure but I'm certain that the kelp looks different from what I saw and ate in Korea and Japan.
like Krack Boon said. Radiation is possibly the least permanent issue facing our ocean. Unlike physical waste, toxic runoff, and a lowering pH (called ocean acidification), radiation will literally just go away in time. These other problems will NOT just go away unless we counteract them.
"time" as in something of 6 million years? iodine degrades so slowly the it will be in the ocean for damn near ever. to even think the radiation "will disappear" in a few years is preposterous to say the least. look at Chernobyl, you think after a few years people moved back there? no. it's still a quarantined no-mans land.
Iodine and Radiation are completely different substances. Where is 6 million years coming from? It seems like you're using hyperbole. I don't "think" it will disappear over time. I KNOW it will because that is what radiation does. You're wrong about Chernobyl too. Far from a quarantined no-mans land. You simply cannot approach the epicentre of the meltdown where yes, there is still radiation. TL;DR every single thing you said is wrong. L O L
Strangely, the wildlife around Chernobyl does pretty well, compared with other regions, which had oil spills from pipelines or other chemical accidents. And just to remember you, a few decades ago, nuclear waste was just dumped into the ocean and some nuclear facilities still leak radiation into the air and the sea. This is no accident, it is daily business and no gives a shit about it. Same goes for using the oceans as a garbage dump. The US Navy even dumped whole fleets of ship classes over the years in sink exercises. Lead paint, asbestos, all the good stuff goes right into the ocean.
Well an interesting note here is that kelp can actually be substituted for a portion of ingredients into livestock feed, and this substitution actually makes cows release less methane, and scientifically is said to be able to significantly reduce GHG emissions. It's pretty interesting. Google it.
Siberia has it's share of edible sea greens which is why Russians living near the sea in the Kamchatka Peninsula and at the Magadan region are used to using it as an essential vegetable but it is completely under reported for why bother to report on something which is a common practice for centuries? No one reports on how salmon is the new food for salmon fishing and eating has been common also for centuries. So why bother?
