Parsons Laverbread Tin
A traditional Welsh Delicacy
Laverbread is rich in potassium, manganese, iron, calcium, and protein. The level of protein is the highest of all the seaweeds and said it can be between 30-50% protein. The Pembrokeshire Food Company team found this percentage staggering and didn't quite believe it so they sent a sample of dried laver to the labs every month for a year to monitor protein levels and how they change according to the seasons: on average per 100g sample, dried laver holds 35% protein, meaning that gram for gram, Laver contains more protein than chicken.
In addition, Laverbread is a powerhouse of vitamins and amino acids and has particularly high concentrations of Vitamin A, B2, B9, and C. Amino acids are essential for muscle development and strength. Vitamin A is important for the immune system and helps support bone health and eye health. Vitamin B9 is important in red blood cell formation and healthy cell growth. Vitamin C helps boost antioxidant levels, lower blood pressure and helps the body repair itself.
How to use it
Traditionally laverbread was for many years and to this day eaten as part of breakfast in Wales. The laverbread is mixed with porridge oats to make patties that are then fried alongside bacon, eggs and sometimes cockles.
However, this ingredient is so versatile and packs such fantastic flavour that the only limitation to its use is your imagination. Simple recipes such as mixing laverbread with salted butter open up a world of possibilities from pan-fried lobster to bacon butties to pasta. Or try adding a spoonful to your mashed potatoes or scrambled eggs for making a protein-rich breakfast.
