@samlowcooks: Ep 74 | Dried Black Sea Moss – HOW TO SHOP AT YOUR LOCAL ASIAN GROCER Once prized in Chinese cooking, especially during Lunar New Year, black sea moss (fat choy) symbolizes prosperity and good fortune. Its hair-like strands resemble wealth (fat choy = “get rich”), making it a popular addition to celebratory dishes like braised mushrooms, oyster stew, and Buddha’s Delight. HOWEVER, wild-harvested fat choy has been banned in parts of China due to its role in severe land degradation and desertification. While it’s culturally significant, I don’t personally recommend it unless it’s sustainably sourced or an imitation version made from bean curd or starch, widely available and more environmentally friendly. It’s a reminder that tradition and sustainability can sometimes clash but with mindful choices, we can honour both. Save/Share this video if you’ve found it informative ✨✨✨✨ 🎥 at Jadan on Dominion Rd, Auckland, New Zealand. #asiangrocer #samlow #howtoshop #fatchoy #blackseamoss #blackmoss

I'm not sure the texture is something I'd like, but if someone made me some, I'd try it.

Is this similar to Jamaican sea moss? In terms of the mineral & nutrient content?
