Seaweed and Radiation

by JRS22 » Feb 17th, '16, 21:28

I didn't worry about tea and radiation after the Fukushima nuclear disaster because I trusted my favorite japanese tea vendor, O-Cha, to read the test results and sell safe tea.

I need to buy more nori sheets to make sushi, and I'm wondering how safe seaweed is, and if there's a brand thats trustworthy. Or maybe its no longer an issue, since almost 5 years have passed.

Any advice? Thoughts?

Well for radiation to dissipate you need a lot longer than 5 years.

However i suppose its the current and location of seaweed farms and the like that really gives you the confidence of eating it.

there's a lot of seaweed from china.. so you have the option of either chemical waste contaminated seaweed.. or to go for the radiation flavour :D
