Product description
Sea lettuce can replace parsley in recipes, but it can also be used to spice up a white butter sauce or pan-fried seasonal vegetables. Sea lettuce is a seaweed with a full-bodied taste similar to sorrel. It can be sprinkled in flakes at the end of cooking (fish, soups, vegetables, etc.) or in vinaigrette. Sea lettuce is a green algae that, depending on the species, has wide, elongated or coiled blades, measuring 10-30 cm. They are found during average low tides and are abundant in waters rich in nutrient salts. It got its name from its resemblance to the lettuce found in our gardens. It is an algae that has colonized most of the world's coastlines (Atlantic, Baltic, North Sea, Mediterranean, Pacific, etc.) and grows in shallow water.
