This must definitely be Elaine's influence on me...
 
Has anyone actually seen a trace mineral assay on kelp? I had to have one done on our fish hydrolysate and I would love to compare the two. It was very difficult to find a lab that was able to do the work.
 
Thanks,
Jeff Young

Hi all...more on kelp and seaweeds

I think kelp and seaweed contain a lot of mucilage, which is exactly
what it sounds like, kind of snotty stuff (sometimes I get a little
grossed out when I prepare seaweed for cooking...it definately needs
to be rinsed!). Plant roots secrete the same kind of stuff and it is
a great polysaccharaide resource for bacteria in the rhizosphere. I
bet the guys in your tea would absolutely love it.

Take care,
Allison

thought about the soaking liquid.....any thoughts?
