Thanks, Paulette.
 
I never realized that kelp was so low in protein and so high in carbs (makes sense of course). Good thing fungi haven't heard of the Atkins diet!

This must definitely be Elaine's influence on me...

Has anyone actually seen a trace mineral assay on kelp? I had to have one
done on our fish hydrolysate and I would love to compare the two. It was
very difficult to find a lab that was able to do the work.

Thanks,
Jeff Young

Hi all...more on kelp and seaweeds

I think kelp and seaweed contain a lot of mucilage, which is exactly
what it sounds like, kind of snotty stuff (sometimes I get a little
grossed out when I prepare seaweed for cooking...it definately needs
to be rinsed!). Plant roots secrete the same kind of stuff and it is
a great polysaccharaide resource for bacteria in the rhizosphere. I
bet the guys in your tea would absolutely love it.

Take care,
Allison
