We had our usual twice a month marketing early this morning at the Cainta Public Market. While we were buying fish, I saw this fresh seaweed which we locally know as lato. It was selling at P200.00 a kilo. I bought just one-fourth and later made it into a fresh seaweed salad. Paired with the left-over fried chicken we had last night, it was so yummy. One-fourth kilo is good enough for a plateful. All you need to do is add fresh white onion, fresh ginger, two pieces of tomatoes and a little salt. Presto, you have a yummy dish.
Since I forgot to take a photo, I googled it online and found this.
Lato is also called sea grapes because of its shape. It contains a high amount of minerals, balanced amino acid and is also rich in iodine. And you won’t need to cook it.
If you are resourceful enough, there is always something you can find that you haven’t tasted for a while and this is one of them.
