Edible seaweed soaps, and lotions. Common edible seaweeds include: Edible seaweed Edible seaweed, or sea vegetables, are algae that can be eaten and used in the preparation of food. They typically contain high amounts of fiber. They may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. Seaweeds are also harvested or cultivated for the extraction of polysaccharides such as alginate, agar and carrageenan, gelatinous substances collectively known as hydrocolloids or phycocolloids. Hydrocolloids have attained commercial significance, especially in food production as food additives. The food industry exploits the gelling, water-retention, emulsifying and other
Edible Schoolyard demonstrates the practical application of mathematical concepts through rigorous, standards-based math tasks. An example of a Making Mathematics Delicious lesson is the Mathematics of Rhubarb Jam lesson, which introduces a base recipe for rhubarb jam, and then asks students to complete a variety of math questions based on scaling the recipe. Concepts explored in this lesson include dependent and independent variables, drawing graphs, calculating the slope of a line, and writing basic algebraic formulae. Although the Edible Schoolyard at King Middle School is connected to the school food program through the School Lunch Initiative, the garden does not supply the
