Anyone interested in the healthy implications of seaweeds (copious vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals etc) may be heartened to know that humankind chewed and spewed this wonderful stuff  well over 13,000 years ago!!!!!!!!

Archaeological Evidence of Raw and cooked consumption of various seaweeds here:

Nice...

I've been meaning to get back into eating spirulina and chlorella.
I used to take the tablets, but those are heated and pressed and whatnot, so I stopped taking them.

I should be ordering some chlorella powder soon.

Peace, friend!

Here's an excerpt from the link:

Seaweed cakes
Some of the seaweed had been pressed into cakes and chewed as quids, like tobacco is sometimes today. Others had clearly been cooked, Dillehay and colleagues say.

"All nine seaweed species recovered at Monte Verde II are excellent sources of iodine, iron, zinc, protein, hormones, and a wide range of trace elements, particularly cobalt, copper, boron, and manganese," they write.

At least two of the species are used medicinally by local indigenous people to treat chest and intestinal ailments.

Ah yes, Spirulina & Chlorella ... luvley stuff....

Powder in fresh Pineapple or Grapefruit juice may increase enzyme content and therefore absorption.... also assists 'dissolvability' hehe...

Modern Medicine warns those on pharmaceuticals NOT to eat grapefruit when on medications 'cause this often DOUBLES the absorption or effect of the drug.... think about that!!!

Thick Blue Green Stuff awaits consumption....

Some Flamingos live solely on Spirulina - how sweet is that...

That does it! You've convinced me!

I get my first paycheck from my new job tomorrow, and I think I'll be ordering some lickety-split!

I need to check the status of my goji berries too... I ordered 5 lbs. a couple weeks ago, and the bag's getting kind of light. Man, I must eat a lot of those things! MMmmm...  afro

more ....

"People have used seaweed, sometimes called the “vegetable of the sea”, for thousands of years. It has always been closely tied to humans in various cultures because of its availability and the many similarities with the chemical makeup of our own bodies. Seaweed is easy to find, harvest and use.

Anthropologists say we all came from the sea and that some of the sea’s elements are found in our own bodies. Seaweed has a mixture of vitamins, minerals and trace elements forming its composition. Human beings have the same sort of mixture internally. This similarity enables the minerals and healing elements of seaweed to be absorbed through the skin and into our blood, making the benefits of seaweed an almost perfect solution to many of our health problems."
