[Sca-cooks] substitute to salt

[Christine Seelye-King]

Powdered kelp is used as a salt substitute for those with high blood
pressure concerns.  I don't have any period docs on this, but there are
certainly ethnic coastal recipes that use sea weeds for various soups and
other uses.  For that matter, using sea vegetables such as dulse (smoky,
salty taste, can be fried and used in a "DLT" sandwich), wakame (aka Alaria
from US waters), hijiki/hiziki (strands that need soaking or longer
cooking), and a variety of others will increase your mineral content along
with some sodium.
