Sabores do Mar - Algas Edíveis do Centro de Portugal

As macroalgas são usadas como alimento desde que há memória, sobretudo nos países asiáticos, mas também por outras comunidades litorais de África, da América e da Europa. Todas elas crescem nas zonas litorais, mais ou menos expostas à zona entre-marés, em faixas aproximadamente horizontais.
