In this Grocery Greats segment, ForXx is exploring the world of sea veggies.<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nCome with me under the sea\u2026for a tasty veggie?
\nIn case you haven\u2019t heard, there are some great vegetables under the sea. They\u2019re called Sea Veggies.\u00a0Nori (pictured) would be the most common if you eat sushi because it\u2019s used to make the California rolls at most restaurants. Nori varies in color from dark purple to marine green. It contains both iodine and vitamin C. At-home cooks can use it as a condiment for rice, soups, salads, casseroles or grains either crushed into flakes or cut into strips.
\nFood manufacturers also\u00a0often use processed sea vegetables as thickeners like Agar-Agar. It\u2019s a clear Japanese gelatin and a tasteless alternative to animal- or chemical-based gelatins that also come in opaque flakes. It dissolves in hot liquid and thickens at room temperature. Agar-Agar is most commonly used in puddings, toothpaste, jellies and pies.
\nSea veggies are plentiful, easy to cook and full of flavor. Finding these deep-sea treasures was a delicious surprise. So how can you use sea veggies at home? Simply dissolve some Arame in hot water for a great broth and combine with your favorite pasta and chicken. \u00a0You may be wondering if sea veggies taste fishy. \u00a0Although they are from the sea, they are not fishy in flavor. Start with the sweet, mild flavors of Arame and Wakame first. I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll win you over.
\nWhole Foods carries a more-than-good selection of sea veggies or you can visit your local Asian grocer.
