Great job on the video, But did you know that livestock fed seaweed, roughly 20% of their diet, will produce around 50% less methane. Cows being one of the largest producers of methane (a dangerous greenhouse gas, worse than co2) in North America. I thought that was neet.
Carageenan, agar and alginates are specifically from seaweeds so there aren't any other organisms we extract them from. There are other organisms that produce hyrdocolloids, which would serve the same purpose. We don't artificially synthesize any phycoocolloids (hyrdocolloids derived from seaweed), but there would be chemicals that serve the same purpose that are. Other common hydrocolloids include gelatin, pectin, xanthan gum and starch.
I hadn't heard of this before but it doesn't surprise me. Many seaweeds are high in sugar, especially some of the kelp species. The common name for the species Saccharina latissima is sugar kelp
Whats your favourite food containing seaweed?
Icecream I guess
Favourite flavour?
Agar agar jello, or probably the roasted seaweed snack packets
The roasted seaweed snacks are pretty good
sushi

Haven't heard of this before, i'll have to look into it
"... to stay current on our videos."- I sea what you did there.
Whale sometimes it just happens
I'm not shore what you mean.
Some seem to write them selves and its swell when they do
You're keeling me.
I'll call for kelp!
Smart girl good job keep it up I subscribe you!!!!
Sushi!!!
So good!
So did u eat all of the foods?? Also, do we extract those 3 chemicals from other organisms too or even artificially synthesize them?
Also, I think I remember hearing that we used to extract seaweeds for sweetners, but not anymore b/c it was commercially too expensive!
