What seaweeds does this mix contain?

This Breton seaweed salad contains dulse, sea lettuce and laminaria. Dulse is part of the Palmariaceae family and grows off the coasts of Brittany. Sea lettuce is part of the Ulvaceae family and Laminaria is part of the Laminariaceae family. These three seaweeds grow under the sea, so they must be harvested at low tide and their harvest is only authorised from 1st April to 31st December so that their natural regeneration is not disrupted.

Since when is seaweed used as a food?

Traditionally, in South-East Asia seaweed has been used as a food since the 5th century. In Brittany, seaweed became a foodstuff much later at the beginning of the 19th century when it was harvested off the North Finisterre coast by local fishermen who collected the seaweed. In Brittany, seaweed was initially used to feed cattle.
