Baking with Sugar Kelp

Sugar kelp has the highest natural sugar content of the kelp species and is actually an excellent addition to baking. It brings an umami flavor that enhances the other flavors in your dish. This is a lovely video of a wild harvester sharing a seaweed enhanced Chocolate Barney Cheesecake along with a Lemon Polenta Cake.

Worth a watch - there is one scene where the narrator licks a piece of dried sugar kelp that was a skooch off-putting but you cant win em’ all. Seaweed in puds, people!
