SEAWEED.

Seaweed is awesome, plain and simple. For those of you that haven’t incorporated the various types of seaweed into your diet such as hijiki, wakame, kombu and nori, you’re missing out! Check out this paragraph from Paul Pitchford’s book, “Healing With Whole Foods”.
“Consider that our blood contains all one hundred or so minerals and trace elements in the ocean. Seaweeds contain these in the most assimilable form because their minerals and elements are integrated into living plant tissue. In fact, as a group they contain the greatest amount and broadest range of minerals of any organism, and hence make superb mineral-rich foods. On account of this unusual mineral content, they are effective even in relatively small, supplementary amounts such as a few kelp tablets.”
Yay seaweed!

I checked out seaweed yesterday at IV-Food Co-Op. All had salt added. All the different types looked so so good!
I ate almond butter, coconut and cacao topped with honey last night. now I feel guilty. =) Honey and salt, I have done under an hours research regarding this matter, were most likely around back in Paleo times, but I hear they just were not in the abundance they are now. I will be limiting my honey intake to once per week unless I hear we can or can not eat it by Professor Jaala.
Eric said the Paleo site says No Honey, but they have it listed in some recipes.
When is that Paleo dinner party, I miss you guys!????

Seaweed’s only purpose is to hold sushi-rolls together. That is all.
BTW- Honey is paleo, although it would have only been seasonally available. Its great if you’re looking to spike insulin post workout. Otherwise, it can be pretty detrimental for the same reason.
