First Time Eating Icelandic Seaweed Straight From The Ocean with Eydís Jónsdóttir
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- If you watched my recent adventure video about the Reykjanes Peninsula then you might remember the short clips of Eydís and I eating fresh seaweed out of the ocean on Icelandic shores. It was such a fun and educational part of the video that I decided to use the ton of footage that I had from that time to make an individual video. I hope you enjoy learning how to forage and eat seaweed in Iceland, and I highly recommend giving it a try while you are here.

Jewells I love your spirit. You're just casually munching on a seaweed salad uninhibitedly. 😂 You're amazing.
😂 Thanks! I just decided to go for it.
Will there be 🐜?
You’re so fun! Thanks for being down to earth and talking about such unique and interesting topics! 😘
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. 😊
Wow, I thought only Chinese and Japanese people eat seaweed, I didn't know Icelandic people eat that as well. Learned something today.
I am an Indian man married to a Finnish man. I do feel quite resonated with your Nordic experience.
Jewells, if I'm ever lucky enough to come to Iceland, I'm gonna try to hit you up for a tour :) hahaha
😂🤗
Not a bad idea. We'll be at an airbnb near Hotel Oddson. Point us to the Northern Lights (but Late Sept I heard isn't really a good enough time :(
This was fun and informative! Brava ladies.
Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it.
You know the most interesting people. Thank you for bringing them to the rest of us, Jewells.
My pleasure and so glad you enjoyed this video.
I enjoy learning about Icelandic culture or any culture but flora and fauna facts are just as important to me. Thank you
Yay, so glad to hear that!
I LOVE this chic so MUCH!
In MY mind, she's my sister from another mother and my virtual tour guide to a World I TRULY want to discover.
Thank you💚.
I even put her in my virtual tour video on my RUclips channel. She's such an inspiration to me and other black women to be bold and discover the WORLD!
Aww, thank you so much for the awesome comment. I'm so glad you enjoy the adventures I take you on. All the best to you.
What a wonderfully generous comment!
What a fun and educational experience! Thanks for bringing us along!
My pleasure 😊
Jewels, this was very interesting, I love learning about Iceland.
Yay!! So glad to hear that. 😊
@@AllThingsIceland Jewels.. yes you're a good source.. thanx 4 the help.. in 1993 when I was there not alot of USA people could relate to my sentiment of the craving to visit there.. (yay me! Yay No crowds..). But alas.. the interweb rained on my parade & it's saturated with commercialism. Thanks for nothing bill gates.
I am Vegan ... so this was so nice for me. If All Things Iceland ever partners with a seaweed org... I will subscribe. I really wanted to do this, travel the world, and make natural products available for everyone. Thank you for this!
Same, this is so interesting to me!
when I was in Cornwall I used to munch on Algae all of the time as well. Love ist so much
Such a chill video! Love the vibes! Thanks for another great video Jewells.
That’s a full meal 😊 I loved this video and Eydís is so informative
Your work is never done, great episode. Keep them coming, it's amazing to learn about nature underfoot.
Thank you. So glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
Very intriguing, Jules! This is causing me to reexamine seaweed as I am mostly vegetarian apart for some seafood. I'm quite excited. 🤩
So sorry I missed the live. I LOVE this video! I’m so impressed with your all encompassing love and appreciation of all things Iceland! 😊 and now, all I can think about is lox on bagels with cream cheese, but instead of capers on top, I’m thinking about bladderwrack seaweed bubbles 👍🏽
Sorry you missed it too but there will be many more coming up! LOL nice!
I MUST taste this! I Love Seaweed
Yay! I hope you like it.
That was fascinating. I've never eaten seaweeds on purpose. Intriguing! Best wishes for 2022!
This was so cool!! I love seaweed, especially the chips. It's not popular in my home country so I always get it at a Korean shop, so amazing to see u can munch on seaweed on the beach like that. Super informative as well!
I think it's so cool 😎 that you are really into the sea veggies.
Hi Jewells! What a treat! (Pun intended)
Leave it to you to share the most interesting and unusual topics. Just another thing to add to my "to do" list when I visit Iceland.
Yay!! 🥳🥳
This was sooooo informative
Jewells this vlog was so interesting and educational for me. I really enjoy watching your vlogs and learning all about Iceland!!!!! Bucket list for sure 🤗🥰👍
Wow! How interesting!
I love that video! Thank u! Luana from Brasil!
Thank you that was so interesting :)
Jewells, you have excelled yourself! Þetta myndband er frábært! Many years ago, I lived in Iceland (Reykjavík, Keflavík, Stykkishólmur, Ísafjörður, Akureyri) and studied at the University of Iceland. I think that must have been the time when Icelanders forgot about all the varieties of seaweed as Eydís mentioned. I don't remember ever being offered seaweed in a dish or as a medicine. I am vegan now and this is all so fascinating to learn about. It's good to know that Icelanders are becoming more innovative and using the plentiful natural resources of their land. Þakka þér kærlega!
Takk kærlega fyrir og mín er ánægjan! It's interesting because you can buy dried dulse in the stores. I've had it in homemade soups but not from may people.
You are a true ambassador of Iceland. You are informing the whole world about this wonderful country.
That was most informative and definitely would try. I’ve had seaweed in the past from Japan and liked that ,so pretty sure I would like this too. Now,just have to get Iceland 😎🤗.
That's so cool
this is awesome! thank you!
You're very welcome!
It was so interesting ! Thanks for the video, I learned a lot. I live near the sea so I'll definitely pay more attention to the seaweed on my morning walk! Maybe even have a little taste 😋😂
This was SOOO interesting!!🙏 l really like how you taste everything, good for you Jewels 👏👏👏🤗
Thank you 😊
Love this!😀
Thank you!
This was wonderful!! Thank you so much!!
You're so welcome!
I enjoyed this video! Thank you ❤
Glad to hear that and my pleasure 🤗❤️
super interesting, thanks! very interested in other food foraging / wild food / herbs in iceland - general food culture
Truly enjoyed this. It did make me hungry, and now I’m adding it to the must do when I visit Iceland list. Thank you
My pleasure. 🙂
This was a very interesting episode. Thanks a lot Jewells and Eydis!
Our pleasure!
Wow! Amazing!!
😊
This was so interesting, thank you!
My pleasure
Awesome thankyou both :)
Our pleasure!
Love the video, so informative! I eat seaweed everyday, mostly Irish Moss! You’re so fortunate to have it wild and fresh on your doorstep. 😍👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you. Yes, I feel very fortunate to have access to such nutritionally dense food all along the coastline.
Hello Jewells thank you for the information your energy is wonderful and truly love the care of the icelandic people which refreshing keep well hope to see more as you post -- in the caribbean we have some like those but we call it sea moss and we use it for drinks made with milk and it strengthens -- we love it -- truly fasinating
Thank you and all the best to you 😊
Jewells will you kindly be my guide if I visit Iceland in the recent future! You're fantastic, you're the best!
Thank you!
Love learning about seaweed and would like to get the products...you were brave to try all.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
This is such interesting and unique content! I would absolutely love it if I came to Iceland and was able to do a similar tour. ❤️
Nice!!
Yum, added Iceland to my bucket list of places one must experience. Thanks to the web we have a virtual reality experience compared to my early days of connecting abroad through seeking a Pen Pal to exchange via pen, paper and photos.
😊
Excellent content!!
Glad you enjoyed it
You're so brave tasting all of these raw things, I don't think I could've. 👍
Nature is the healer of our ailments!! Thanks Jewells xoxoxoxo. Would love to try those products!!!
Agreed and my pleasure. Feel free to check out her FB page for her company. Not sure if that have launched already.
Me too!
@@AllThingsIceland will do!
Would love to see you do a video tour of grocery shopping in a major grocery store there. Can you find gluten free flours for baking? Would love to see how the prices are. Thank you!
Wow this was so interesting!!! Iceland is so freakin cool man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I cannot wait to visit Iceland!!
Yay!
That's so amazing that you can just pick it up and eat it straight from the beach! I don't think I'd risk that on the beach here! Might have added sewage flavour 😬
😂🤢
amazing channel again! :)
Thank you 😊
Atleast I'm not the only one that missed this . . . Another Great One -Should most definitely have an Agency,dont know hows the calendar that side either way 💯😊
I'm surprised at how crunchy the red algae is x And I looove Irish moss. I've had it dried. Also I'd like to learn to make crunchy seaweed. I've had it from a Chinese takeaway. It's delicious ☺🍽
Me too! I think a dehydrator might be used to make the crunchy seaweed but that is just a guess. 😊
Wow!! Came across your videos last night & they are so interesting. Always thought of Iceland as a boring country with just ice...the northern lights & the West Fjords (know how to pronounce now).... absolutely beautiful!!!
😂 Glad you get to see the more fun and interesting side to Iceland.
Hi Jewells your name reminds me of a someone I knew in elementary school many years ago only hers didn't have the l & s. Would like to see a video of Reykjavik if you haven't done already.... with you walking through the city & showing us the different stores & restaurants... dine in one of them & discuss the local cuisine there. Are locals taking the Covid vaccines? How has Iceland fared with the virus?
Jewels I love the vids, also are u ever planing on making all things Iceland merch because I would definitely buy it😁
Thank you and yes! I’m working on some. I hope to announce it soon. 😊
@@AllThingsIceland yeeeeeees, can’t wait
New subscriber here. Made a smaller emigration. Loving this life change you made. CA to ID is what we did and can identify in a smaller way your fulfillment. Cheers! 🍻
Were did yuo get your hair im just asking
Becaus i really wanna know how to do these and get these
Jewell's you have a beautiful sport.
Aww, thank you very much for the lovely comment. 😊
I know Irish moss, use to make a drink and it's thick. Put linseed in it too.
So interesting. I find it cool how many people know some of these varieties. Thanks for sharing.
@@AllThingsIceland I am from Jamaica and I immigrated to the UK in May 1997. Iceland looks like a beautiful country and I like the way of the elements: water, ice and fire exist together.
Hi Jewells! What beach did you guys visit to harvest seaweed?
You should do a video with hrafna that would be such a cool collab !
Great info 👌
Thank you!
@@AllThingsIceland and why do you want to stay living in Iceland no offense but was America that bad or there's no problems in Iceland? 🤔 may I ask, just curious 🤔
@@kratoscraken5614 Saw your comment here and remembered that Jewells posted this video about the subject recently: ruclips.net/video/lW5kmp-53lo/видео.html
Hope it gives you some idea :)
@@Magni87 ok saw the video so I guess everything is good for her and because her husband is Icelandic. Hopefully I'll visit Iceland myself hopefully Iceland and its beautiful people will give me the same hospitality 👍
Great video, so interesting. I wonder how long you could survive eating just seaweed?
Thank you. Great question but I don’t know.
Looking good in Red ❤️
Thank you 🤗
Much love from ❤️Philadelphia
When I was in Iceland, a friend and I actually stayed with Eydis and her husband. And she actually took me to do the same but I really didn't like the seaweed.
LOL interesting. Well, at least you can say you tried it.
Lolol, try it again dried and salted so tasty
LOL.
This inspires me to find out which seaweed is edible where I live on the West coast of the U.S!
Nice! I hope you find some tasty varieties.
..Jewells, puffins-I can't wait to see 'em botH (hopefully soon)!! :D
I hope you get to see them both in the near future.
@@AllThingsIceland #SamSieS
I eat the seaweed Dulse fairly regularly. I use it on salads and eggs. I wonder if Iceland uses the seaweed for fertilizer. I'm wondering if you were in a region during low tide. I assume that seaweed is growing in water.
Yes, it is growing in water.
Does Eydis recommend to harvest seaweed on your own? I moved to Iceland recently and since I'm a natural born forager, I obviously want to go pick some kelp for myself!
Yes, she does recommend harvesting on your own. She says that it is best to pick closest to the sea because people might have been stepping on the seaweed closer to the shore.
...Bronx Love
🤗
love ya Jewels.
Thank you and lots of love back to you. 😊
Is there a tour or a way I can come try it?
just go to the shore and find some. but not near harbours btw.
At some point Eydís was taking locals with her to harvest seaweed. I don't think she does this anymore but I think it would be fun for someone who is knowledgeable in seaweed to explain it to people who have interest.
Mary on Richard's phone from Florida USA. Wow wowwe
😊 Glad you enjoyed it Mary. All the best to you
I use seaweed in my skincare products.
Nice!
Hi! Your videos are great. I’m looking into ways to immigrate to Iceland from the US but do not have a degree. I’ve heard it’s difficult without one, but I was wondering if it’s possible to get a visa as a firefighter, which I am right now. I was also thinking about a trade like construction, I’d even work as a farmer if I could. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I hope you have a great day :)
Hi Jewels. I was wondering if you are able to read Icelandic?
Yes, I can read Icelandic. I’m always learning new meanings but I read Icelandic news about once or twice during the week.
The berries like little cherry tomatoes in a salad
Nutritional and good for you
Send me some 😂
😊
....
Going to Iceland 9/22. Fully vaxxed. Me Astro Zeneca, wife Pfizer. Entry rules seem to change daily. The latest?
Yay for coming to Iceland. Yes, the rules are changing often because we are battling an outbreak of Delta variant. Right now, the rule is that vaccinated people and those with a certificate of antibodies need to show a negative test that is less than 72 hours old and your certification at the border. You don’t need to test again once in Iceland. Those who have ties to residents or live in the country need to also have a test upon arrival. If that is negative, they can travel around. Also, masks are necessary when you can’t keep a one meter distance. It’s possible that the rules will change. Best to keep checking covid.is, if you are not already.
Jewells! Omg I can’t believe your “guest” allowed you to eat the seaweed without at least rinsing it a little with a bottle of water or something. Did anyone catch when the lady said she usually “washes it first” because of (bugs) that could be in it?? I’d totally be like “let’s eat this together” kind of vibe. Jewells, you’re a champ. Thanks for biting the bullet for us but be careful. I literally cringed when I saw you continue to munch on more seaweed and the look on the lady’s face as you did it. If you have gastrointestinal symptoms a couple weeks from now, get your stool tested. I travel a lot and experience all types of nature and enjoy organic food but there are microscopic consequences that aren’t usually apparent until you get really sick, so just be mindful! That’s all! ;)
My stomach feels fine and no issues at all. Thanks for the concern. 🙂
That’s what happened to the First Humans; they migrated from Africa to Europe, and, over thousands of years, eventually turned White. Their genetics and almost Everything about them Changed. The same will happen to you (if you stay long enough). Great video (:
Impressive video! Does Eydís have an IG page?
Were did yuo get your hair im just asking
Becaus i really wanna know how to do these and get these
My hair is in locs. I’m sure if you speak to a person that does Locs, they can help you get this style.
@@AllThingsIceland thx i find many that do dreadlocks but their either cant do it on me or they business have stopped
