About Lava bread

Lava bread, also known as laverbread, is a traditional Welsh delicacy made from a specific type of edible seaweed called laver, abundant along the Welsh coastline. The seaweed is harvested, thoroughly washed, and then boiled down into a soft, gelatinous paste. It is often mixed with oatmeal, shaped into patties, and pan-fried for a savory dish. Laverbread is celebrated for its high nutritional value, being rich in iodine, iron, and essential vitamins like B12. It's a good source of protein and dietary fiber, making it a great choice for promoting heart health and aiding digestion. However, it can be naturally high in sodium due to the seaweed’s marine origin, so moderation may be advised for those on low-sodium diets. Traditionally featured in Welsh breakfasts, it’s paired with ingredients like eggs and bacon, offering a unique flavor and texture rooted in centuries of coastal culinary heritage.
