That's my goal in soup-making (besides the amazing umami flavor enhancement) -- to leach minerals into the water. But also to break down the sea greens a bit to make them more digestible. @@@@@@@ Katja: > well, i'm not sure if it lost a lot of nutrients or not. i did discard the > water - i boiled the carrots and cauli until they were nearly ready, and i > put the seaweed in for the last 5 minutes, which it says to do on the > little sheet that came in the bag. so...i'm not sure! but it was tasty. it > was like veggies and pasta @@@@@@@ That's interesting, since kelp is the toughest sea green. I usually cook it for a few hours and even then it's quite sturdy. Alaria is nearly the opposite. For me, the cooked sea greens themselves are byproducts of the cooking water, not the other way around! When I make teas, the problem has always been what to do with the cooked mushy greens. (The general answer is to eat them, but the details are non-trivial.) Mike SE Pennsylvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
