LAVERBREAD- THE STORY OF A TRUE WELSH DELICACY

Laverbread or ‘bara lawr’ in Welsh is an important traditional food of historical value. A national delicacy made from seaweed, it is washed and then cooked to a soft greenish black paste. Made from laver, one of the most nutritious varieties of seaweed, laverbread is full of health benefits. Rich in minerals and vitamins, full of protein and low in calories, this is a real superfood.  A rare plant source of vitamin B12, it is also full of iron and iodine.


A versatile ingredient used creatively by modern chefs, home cooks and traditional recipes alike, laverbread is a highly underrated considering its nutritional profile and unique flavour.
