Sea Palm
May 31st, 2009
Yesterday I posted about nori, today is sea palm. You can see we are tasting some new seaweeds in the kitchen from a west coast purveyor. It is good product, fresh with good flavors and texture. The best way to get to know a product is to try it simply on its own. We are not sure yet what we will do with them.
Sea palm, or postelsia palmaeformis, grows on the Pacific Coast of North America. They look like palm trees and it is the fronds that are usually harvested. It needs to be dried immediately or else it will go sour. They have a mild salty flavor and a texture almost like a noodle.
