Hi All

I have access to a large source of supply of the following New Zealand pure (no heavy metals content) powders

Whole Wakame seaweed powder (Undaria Pinnatifida) and Greenlip Mussel Powder (Perna Canalicula)

Now I am looking for some smart idea's of how to use them, any thoughts?

As noddle's?

Spherification?

Got to be some novel uses of it apart from just seasoning, especially the seaweed

Cheers

Norm

I wish I knew more about the products sounds really cool! Mussel powder...wow that is something I have never heard of! How is it made?

I've played around with mussel powder a bit, but they were Danish blue Limfjord mussels, not New Zealand. Dig down to the end of this recipe for the details. Here's the dish.

Thanks Brian much appreciated. New Zealand mussels contain for more active ingredients because of our high UV conditions, if they survive they have to be pretty adaptable and so not only do they taste good but they have the highest bioactivity.

Unfortunately much benefit that comes from mussels is destroyed by heat processing them. Our processor doesn’t heat their mussels when they dry them. All of the enzymes, vitamins and proteins are intact. It is the next best thing to eating a raw mussel from the line. And their entire process takes only 30 minutes from shelling to dry powder. Some companies take as much as a week to fully process and dry their mussels in freeze dryers. The technique was pioneered in New Zealand.

Now I would love to find something fun to make with it.

Hi Michael, see reply to Brian above, yes its wonderful stuff, and pure but the seaweed is even better:

It has 21 essential Vitamins, 10 Minerals, 19 Proteins and Amino acids. Of note its high percentages of Vitamin A – 7%, Vitamin C – 5%, Calcium - 15% and Iron at 12%.

It’s rich in everything we need and more important has been rated zero by an American lab when test for heavy metals and percentage of other heavy metals, the only seaweed to be rated as such from a world test they did
