Question

What are some foods that are products of algae? Please help for medal! I can't find it anywhere!!

Answer 1

Algae, seaweed, nori, kaiso, agar agar, miuk, carrageen, Irish moss, spirulina, tecuilatl: vitamin rich edible gifts from the sea. Consumed from prehistoric times forward, culinary applications depend upon place/period/people. Algae as human food deserves special consideration because it serves both ends of the human culinary spectrum: starvation food and culinary art. Fascinating!

Answer 2

I meant, what are some regular household food items (like bread, milk, crackers) that have algae in it? @vhalliwill

Answer 3

It doesn't even have to be food, but household products, I guess like certain face washes and cleansers and things.

Answer 16

Most of the foods don't have algae in them. They have products that come from algae. A very common additive is carrageenan. It is used to give things like ice cream, chocolate milk, yogart, etc the smooth, "creamy" consistency people like.

Answer 17

Carrageenan is from a red algae, btw.
