It is from the sea and it is food. I say "yes." However, "seafood" traditionally means the animals we eat from the sea. On the other hand, it is new to Westerners to eat the vegatables from the sea. Times change, so do definitions.
I think the dried seaweed you see in sushi and soups are vegetation not animals
In the history of the world, I don't think anyone has ever asked this question, so you and I get to decide. I vote YES.
It's from the sea and it's food ergo Sea Food.It is eatable so I would say a big yes.
Seaweed of any kind is like the grass on your front lawn, only it grows under water, there are hundreds of edible varietys, and the Japanese consume most of them, you have eaten it and not known it, if you drink chocolate milk, ate ice cream, yougart/w fruit and certain other food with the ingredient carrenegan.
I am fond of Hijiki and Kombu for soups and salads, nori is the one used for sushi, I worked on the east coast of Canada they make a pie with the same seaweed gel used in some baking ingredients. It is an ingredient in Irish Moss drink, popular in Jamaica
They use it in cosmetics, baby care product and shampoos, you would be surprised the number of things over the years you have used and eaten that had a seaweed product in it, Agar-Agar is used in candies and other foods and is completly kosher.
I dont believe so, no.
