Also known as sea vegetable, a particular species of algae that can be harvested and eaten as food. While much seaweed is toxic, edible varietis are eaten extensively in some parts of the world. Agar, a glutinous substance used in the making of sauces, confectionary and a preservative; and carrageenan, a red edible seaweed, are used to make traditional dishes. Agar has some medical applications. Laverbread is a soft mush traditionally eaten with bacon, or with Hog's Pudding.
Seaweed oil (see Marine oil), is used as fuel and for soaps and lotions.
The world's total harvest of seaweed is 1,118 tons, with 4 guilds reporting. The total value of seaweed equals 60,354 g.p. annually (53.97 g.p. per ton).
As treasure, 37 lb. of plundered seaweed = 1 x.p.
The largest seaweed harvesting guilds are Brittany, Devonshire, the O'Hara Clan in Eire and the Orkney Islands.
