Seagreens are a vastly underutilized food source. Despite their myriad of health benefits, they don’t come to mind when most home cooks get ready to prepare a meal, even though seagreens can easily take the place of many, more familiar ingredients. Barton Seaver’s book, Superfood Seagreens (Sterling Epicure, 2016), is the perfect introduction to these plentiful and sustainable greens. From advice on where to buy and how to prepare them — whether smoking, rehydrating, or blanching — to tips on seagreen-friendly kitchen tools and herbs, this book will help to make your meals as delicious as possible.
