| not only that, but seaweed contains large amounts of iodine, so if you eat a few kilos a day will never have problems with slightly-higher than normal levels of radioactivity! |
I shall have to remember that next time I visit a nuclear power plant (I've actually visited two). |

Heh, sprinkle some salt and it automatically becomes unhealthy.  |

No, it's because they fry it in oil and then cover it in salt. |

Ugh! Dulse tastes like the soles of a farmer's work boots. At least Nova Scotian dulse. I've never had the Irish variety. |

Wow, seems it's quite the powerhouse nutrient.
Is it the same as what we get in miyuk guk?
Could it be more healthful than kimchi even  |

It's definitely healthy stuff, but I don't think the Irish are the kind of people to start claiming it to be a magical wonder food which can even prevent infectious diseases, and imagining that people all over the world are eating it when they aren't!
Probably because the Irish aren't so desperate for attention..... |

People worry too much about salt. Salt actually isn't unhealthy, and people eating low salt diets after heart attacks have higher rates of mortality than people eating diets high in salt.
Here's a good article on the subject if anyone is interested: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=its-time-to-end-the-war-on-salt
Of course the oil all that seaweed is fried in is another story, but salt itself isn't the devil most people think it is.
Anyways, I dig those little packets of seaweed to wrap rice with, but I couldn't see myself just eating the seaweed by itself. |

| It's good with rice. Other than that it's no big deal. |

If you want to add green to your diet, get hooked on spinach. You can blend it into a smoothies, throw it on a sandwich, mix it in a soup, or a hundred other ways.

This will probably sound like a stupid question to anybody 'in-country' but do you get a lot of fresh spinach on sale in SK? I get through at least one bag a week of the stuff in the uk, couldnt agree more about using it in loads of different meals. Its definitely something i'd miss if it wasnt available... |

Yeah, Koreans love it so it's in surplus here. I can pop in my local mart daily and get as many bags as I want for a little over a dollar each. The shelves are usually stocked so full of it, a lot goes bad. You should have no problem finding it. |
