Learn How to Grow Seaweed & Algae for Food and Better Health!
At Seaweeding, I want to help you learn how to grow seaweed and edible algae at home. Seaweeding covers everything you need to know to grow, harvest, preserve and use your own home-grown algae for food, health, beauty and more.
Why limit yourself to gardening on land, when there are so many varieties of useful and fascinating underwater seaweeds that you can grow using inexpensive set-ups including home aquariums and tanks?
Edible seaweed is a delicious and healthy supplement to your diet, used across the world in a variety of different cuisines from Japan to Scotland, and easy to grow. I want to show you how to welcome and embrace these wondrous sea plants (and bacteria) in your life, by sharing information on how to grow algae, as well as how to preserve and use seaweeds and cyanobacteria including sea moss, spirulina, chlorella and kelp in cooking and health applications.
Follow the links in the main menu, to check out my guides and tips for growing algae, plus preserving and using your homegrown seaweed, algae and cyanobacteria for better health, nutrition and enjoyment.
Thanks for dropping by!
Much love,
-Sonia KV
