Seaweed is officially the "Kale of 2026"
From the Ocean to Your Plate: The AlgaeFood Revolution
Move over avocado toast! Today’s world news highlights a massive shift in how we think about sustainable food. A major EU-backed project called AlgaeFood has just reached a breakthrough in early 2026, proving that edible seaweed is the most viable low-carbon alternative to animal protein.
It’s not just for sushi anymore. Chefs in Denmark and Germany are now using species like Palmaria palmata to create everything from high-protein pasta to umami-rich seasonings. Because it requires zero fresh water, land, or fertilizer, it’s being hailed as the most 'planet-positive' ingredient in our kitchens today.
Have you ever cooked with seaweed at home, or does it still feel a bit too 'experimental' for you? I’m thinking of doing a workshop on how to use sea-flavors... who’s in? 🙋♂️
