CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The public and Lake County Community Co-op members alike are invited to meet Terry Nieves, Mendocino County proprietor of Ocean Harvest Sea Vegetable Co., and learn everything there is to know about seaweeds and their nutritional value.
Nieves will show samples of the different varieties of sea plants she harvests on the Mendocino Coast and provide taste samples of her products.
The presentation is on Saturday, March 5, from 10:30 a.m. until noon at the Clearlake Library, 14785 Burns Valley Road.
This educational and fun, show-and-tell event is free.
Ms. Nieves also works as an educator, directing a countywide nutrition education and gardening program for students in Mendocino County schools.
“My life revolves around food,” she said. “I have to set good examples everywhere I go. My business and professional life let me do that with delicious ease!”
As part of her presentation, she will show how to use seaweeds in many ways, from eating them – to bathing with them.
Seaweeds are by far the most concentrated natural food source of minerals, electrolytes and trace elements around.
One of the LCCC’s goals is to educate Lake County residents on how to live more healthfully and sustainably by keeping it local and is proud to include these sea vegetable products as part of its Buying Club offerings.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from an expert on the high nutritional value of vegetables from the sea, meet others of like interests, and even have an opportunity to purchase products direct from the source!
