About Sea lettuce
Sea lettuce is a thin, leafy green seaweed, usually sold fresh, dried, or rehydrated. Its bright green blades are often delicate and flexible when fresh, becoming crisp when dried; the flavour is mildly briny and marine.
It can be eaten as a vegetable or used in soups, salads, and other preparations where a seaweed flavour is wanted. Products may be whole leaves, flakes, or powder, and their texture and saltiness vary with drying and preparation.
