Now, I have always enjoyed seaweed, but this is insane. Basically I have purchased practically all the available raw seaweed (raw nori, bags of Sea Tangle, etcetera) in Hollywood in the last two days and consumed it. What is going on?? All I want to do is eat seaweed. Maybe I can distract myself with a coconut or a green smoothie for breakfast, but then it’s on to the seaweed! Has anyone else gone through this? Does anyone know why my body is going batshit for this slimy green edible? Are you going to have to pull me off the Santa Monica pier before I go diving for more? I did read online somewhere that the stuff helps pull heavy metals out of the body, but at the rate I’m going we’re looking at me giving birth to Iron Man.

Thanks Lucy + have_mersey. (She says, stuffing double layers of nori in her mouth.) Kelp for president!
Well, I’ve not that “problem” with seaweeds, I’ve it with sprouts, and I just eat them in every meal, but for the next meal… what my body wants? More sprouts!
I have eat agar, but I’ve not try other, could you suggest me please any seaweed and how to eat? Thank you, and I wil keep an eye on a possible Iron Man taking a walk at goneraw :-)
Hi Karuna, don’t worry about that! Seaweeds are sea vegetables (algae) and there are different types. Nori is one of them, sometimes it’s roasted before using for making sushi. Agar for example has not any taste (but other algae are stronger). Some links:

Thanks pianissima! :)
I do feel like I need the salt…but then I always do well with a lot of salt. This feels different—I really do think I’m in some major detox phase again and some old junk is being cleared via the ‘weed.
Karuna: take a sheet of raw nori, slice avocado and cucumber onto it, toss in some arugula, and roll it up. Completely amazing! You will be sold.
