What is laver bread made of?

Laver bread is made from seaweed, specifically a type of red algae called Porphyra umbilicalis.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Harvesting: The seaweed is harvested from rocky shores, usually during spring tides.

2. Cleaning and Boiling: The seaweed is washed and cleaned to remove any debris, then boiled for several hours.

3. Blending: The cooked seaweed is blended into a smooth paste.

4. Flavoring: The paste is often seasoned with salt, oatmeal, and sometimes other spices or herbs.

Laver bread is typically eaten as a savory dish, often enjoyed as a breakfast spread or served as a side dish.
