Did you know most of our diets lack the mineral iodine? Iodine is needed for the production of thyroid hormones and since the body doesn’t make it, you need to find sources through food and vitamins. Weed & Wonderful is a new way to incorporate seaweed into your everyday life as natural iodine source.
You might be thinking about the green sludgy stuff you see at the British coast and be put off but this is completely different. Seaweed actually contains a huge range of minerals and vitamins to help a varied diet. Weed & Wonderful have created organic rapeseed oils using the pure goodness of seaweed to use within your cooking to incorporate the benefits of the sea product.
Weed & Wonderful Rapeseed Oils
In the seaweed collection they have created three cooking oils to compliment various dishes. These oils are organic, vegan and sustainably sourced. The premise behind the use of these oils isn’t to make your food taste like the sea but to add a fun and exciting taste to your usual dinners.
We tried the Smoked Seaweed Infused Oil, this is a naturally oak smoked rapesedd oil for flavour boosting. This is perfect for grilled fish, roasted veg, egg dishes or dips to add a mild smokiness to your cooking.
There is also my personal favourite of the three, Pure Scottish Seaweed Infused Oil which is perfect for salads or steamed vegetables. Then the final most intense option, Intense Smoked Seaweed Oil. This oil comes in a smaller jar as you only need a tiny amount, it even has a pipette for application. The oil is for the final stages of cooking and ideal for grilled fish to add a intense smoky flavour.
Dan said “This intense oil makes your salads taste like a barbecue” and he would have barbecue food daily if he could.
