Fancy a weed burger, anyone? From lab-grown meat to insects, there are a growing number of protein sources that could be set to replace much of the meat we eat from livestock. And now theres something new to add to this category – seaweed! Although eating this nutritious plant is not a new thing – its a food staple in many parts of Asia, for example – the idea of a burger made from the stuff really is. As Tim van Berkel, co-founder of The Cornish Seaweed Company, says: “It is a real education for people... to see seaweed as a food and not as the slimy green, black stuff that you find stinking and rotting on the beach. So a mental, as well as an educational change, is needed.”
