I eat the seaweed dulse about every other day. I soak it in filtered water before eating it. To other seaweed eaters out there, do you drink the soak water or toss it? Lately, I've been drinking half and tossing half. It's salty, obviously, which is mostly potassium, and seaweed-colored.

I also soak nuts and always discard that soak water.

Well, seeing as no one has responded, and I'm about to eat dulse again tonight, I may just drink it all.

My dog eats seaweed and sometimes drinks a little ocean water. She seems to have good instincts, so it must be good for her. I was thinking about gathering some for myself.

Not the most solid logic I have ever heard My dog licks its ass and rolls in stinky things, but I wouldn't readily do either!

One possible explanation for an animal eating feces is an instinctive effort to treat a deficiency of some vitamin; usually its a vitamin produced by gut bacteria.

Why would you throw out the water? Because its salty? It seems a waste to me. I prefer wakame and I add it to soups. Saves the trouble of having to rehydrate it. The wakame doesn't make the soup too salty. You could use it in some recipes if you cook.

The dulse I get has loads of salt added...I wouldnt drink it. Even if not, there's no particular magic to seaweed water!

Are you sure it has salt added? I'm not sure why anyone would add salt to dulse, it's already very salty because of the sea salt coating it.

My dulse has sea salt coating it...I reckon that's added to it...doubt if it just crystallised off the water ??

I bet it's just crystallized. Mine has the same thing, from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables.

I'm now thinking of saving all the soak water and diluting it into 1 quart of filtered water to drink during summer weight workouts.

"Soak water" seems like the perfect base for a pot of boiled vegetables. Some might call this soup.

What I'd be interested to try is "Konjac Rice" made with this salty water, for taste. Recipe here: http://en.wiki.calor...e...njac_'Rice'
(I received my konjac and pickled lime yesterday. I'm thrilled!)
