Seaweed proteins could be the next sustainable food source

The protein in sea lettuce, a type of seaweed, is a promising complement to both meat and other current alternative protein sources.

However, the proteins are often tightly bound, and their full potential has not yet been realized on our plates. The protein in sea lettuce, a type of seaweed, is a promising complement to both meat and other current alternative protein sources.
