Is seaweed spaghetti actually any good?
I’d never even heard of seaweed spaghetti until a couple of years ago, and first assumed it must be seaweed flavoured pasta, like that green spinach pasta I was always suspicious of as a child.

It’s so hard to know what’s healthy with so much conflicting information around. Are grains good or bad? Should I go gluten free? Are bread and pasta fattening? So are wholegrains an important part of our health or are they worth the demonisation they have been receiving of late? To judge, we have […]
