I always liked seaweed, but it became extremely important in my diet when I switched to the plant-based diet.
Seaweed gives dishes the “ocean” flavor I crave sometimes, and I fully enjoy such dishes without so-called seafood, like shrimp and scallops.
In fact seaweed has become my “seafood”!
Hijiki seaweed is one of my favorites, although I cannot think of any type of seaweed I do not like.
