How resistant are sea vegetables to heat? I hope this isn't a dumb question, but am I killing the enzymes and nutrients when I boil, bake or dry sea vegetables?

Sea vegetables, like most land vegetables, may be eaten raw. There are some seaweed salad recipes on the site, so check them out.

I do cook my seaweed for soups and other dishes, most of the time adding them as last and using low heat -- like simmering.

Exposing them to high heat causes the breakdown of nutrients and enzymes.

If you're new to seaweed, the easiest to try is nori since these are wrapped around sushi. Have fun!
