The power of plants
Furcellaria is a common red seaweed found along the North Atlantic coast. It favors light, and can be found in the area of foreshore which is exposed at low tide—the time when it reveals its dense reddish-brown foliage. A water-soluble gum is extracted from the furcellaria which is used in the food industry for its thickening, gelling and stabilizing properties.
