Algae and seaweed have probably been eaten by humans as long as our species has existed. The earliest historical record of seaweed consumption goes back to 3000 BC in China, and there is good evidence the Irish and Scots have eaten seaweed for at least 4,000 years.
Australians, however, are just beginning to wake up to just how beneficial and tasty seaweed and algae can be. In a world obsessed with nutrient-poor junk or fast foods and the rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes, it has never been more important for Australians to make responsible and ethical food choices.
