Raw unprocessed Gracilaria (sea moss) from Transition Nutrition is a useful, nutritious sea vegetable to thicken all your culinary creations. It is the best kept secret for the most delicious and emollient raw food creams. This Irish Moss is wild-crafted and truly raw, fresh from the ocean. It comes with a little sand and salt and needs to be cleaned and soaked before use. Irish Moss is loaded with minerals and is also very beneficial to strengthen lungs and the respiratory system.

Sea Palm (Kelp) (Postelsia palmaeformis) Sustainably wildcrafted. A northern California treasure, noodle-like sea palm becomes a favorite of anyone who tries it. Enjoy its mild flavor. For a gourmet treat, cover ¼ oz sea palm with water and rehydrate. Peel sections of 1 grapefruit and toss with slices of 2 avocados. Add sea palm whole or in pieces. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt. Exotic!

California Wakame (Kelp)(Alaria marginata) Sustainably Wildcrafted. A rich source of fucoidan, Wakame is also high in calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B, and C. Try rehydrating it, then marinating with ginger, soy sauce, and rice syrup. Add to soups, or soak for salads or raw stir-"fries".

California Nori (Porphyra perforata). Sustainably wildcrafted. Clean and flavorful, this wild-crafted spring nori comes to you in its natural crinkly splendor rather than in heat processed sushi sheets. Rich in protein, chlorophyll, vitamins A, C, E, and B. Crumble it on salads or pasta, mix into dips, soak and add to salads, or eat it as is. Great for a raw-foods diet.

California Kombu (Kelp) (Laminaria digitata) Sustainably wildcrafted. Special drying techniques make this kombu dark, flavorful, and nutrient-rich. Studies show that alginic acids in kombu remove heavy metals and radiation from the GI tract. (Since mercury is a heavy metal, we use kombu in the diet if we have consumed a lot of tuna fish, or salmon in the past). Kombu contains powerful amounts of potassium, magnesium, iodine, fucoidan, and B vitamins. Eat straight, as a snack or add to salads, soups or your favorite raw recipes.

Atlantic Dulse (Rhodomenia palmata). Organic and sustainably wildcrafted, this dulse from the northern Atlantic is high in protein, iron, B-12, chlorophyll, enzymes, and fiber. Great raw, right out of the bag. Snip pieces and add to salads, or your favorite recipes. Make an Almond-Waldorf Salad (recipe on package).
