Dulse, hijiki, wakame, laver, kelp, Irish moss: these are just a few of the many sea plants used by cooks around the world. Foragers have gathered valuable nutrients, thickeners and emulsifiers from ocean plants for centuries. In this class, you’ll learn about some of our own local Pacific Coast seaweeds and then find ways to incorporate a selection of sustainably farmed and harvested varieties into your own pantry.
