Algae :: Sea weed

Recently, I interviewed someone from the Island of Orkney, off the Yankee shore of Scotland. He described the seas as being nutrient privileged and crystal clear. Traditionally, sea weed, (called sea vegetables in Scotland) has been utilise for herbal remedies, nutriment products, animal food, cosmetics, and fertilizers. Two of the major species I was informed of were genus Laminaria, and Carrageen genus Chondrus crispus (Irish moss). Laminaria, (commonly called "kelp") has it has the ability to re- exploitation extremely fast, making it an almost infinitely sustainable crop. Auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins outlive in large amounts, which are used for animal food supplements. Laminaria is the main seaweed used in Scotland, but Red-weed, green-weed, purple-weed, and pinkweed apiece with its own comical benefits. The various species are used for health products, cosmetics and natural fertilizers for gardens. The seaweed is currently used for animal and human consump tion. Red seaweed gel is used for respiratory problems in animals, (particularly horses), and green seaweed gel, is used as an animal food supplement for growth and minerals. For human consumption, Red seaweed extract is used as a frequent tonic and Red seaweed beautifying cream and a seaweed skin rub for sports people. An provoke fact is that Orkney Golds Seaweed Supreme won The Scottish Food Award in 1995 and 1996. It is made of different flavored kelp dips which can be substituted for tartar sauce, horse radish, mass sauce, dips for French fries, spread for sandwiches and salad dressings. The old Norse word for seaweed is tang and congregation ther tangs, as it used to wash up on the beaches after each winter storm. It was also the only form of land nutrition forthcoming to the crofters and early farmers.
