Dive into seaweed spaghetti...

IN its natural slimy state it may not seem the most appetising of dishes, but seaweed spaghetti could soon be arriving at a dinner party near you.

Seaweed pasta is being touted as the new super-food, boasting fewer carbs and calories than traditional Italian fare.

The Cornish Seaweed Company describes the taste as ‘beefy, deep oceany, nutty and salty’, and entrepreneurs are promoting it as a more sustainable food.

Planet Organic has Seamore I Sea Pasta Seaweed Tagliatelle for £5.99. Frankly, at those prices, few people are going to go overboard for it . . .
