Join the seaweed and kelp course at Kaperuka :)

We are pleased to present Anne-Lise and Bjørn from Ting med Tang in Engelsviken who will come and tell you about how to collect seaweed and kelp for your own food. How to collect it correctly, which species are used for what, taste, nutritional content and much more.

Anne- and Bjørn are committed to sharing expertise at all levels so that seaweed and kelp can become as natural a part of the Norwegian diet as vegetables, fruit and berries are today. The fact that seaweed and kelp are an underutilized resource with many good properties, and a new growing industry in Norway, is a driving force for us. Sign up for one of the course activities as described below in the article.
