Make your own jellies by mixing agar agar flakes with fresh juices or natural cordials. Generally two tablespoons will set 600ml of liquid.Introduction to nature's goodness of seaweedSea vegetables are a complete protein source and one of nature’s richest sources of vegetable protein (up to 38%) and vitamin B12. Ounce for ounce sea vegetables are higher in vitamins and minerals than any other food group. They are particularly high in vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, and B12. Seaweed also contains a substance (ergesterol) that converts to vitamin D in the body. In addition to key nutrients, seaweeds provide us with carotene, chlorophyll, enzymes, and fiber. Seaweed’s saltiness comes from a balanced, chelated combination of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and a myriad of trace minerals found in the ocean. Because their chemical make-up is so similar to human blood, sea vegetables have a balancing, alkalizing effect on the blood. Sea vegetables are known for their ability to reduce cholesterol, remove metallic and radioactive elements from the body, and to prevent goiter. Seaweed also has antibiotic properties that have shown to be effective against penicillin- resistant bacteria.
