My Perfect Dish for The Day Blog #9: Seaweed Salad

in #food7 years ago

Hello Steemians!

I'm here to make and share to you one of the most popular side dishes. This side dish is bright green in color. This is found in the sea because this is a seaweed. haha


What is Guso?

Guso is a Bisaya term for a particular type of local seaweed, one of about 500 edible species found in the Philippines, where native seaweeds are commonly consumed. Guso is one of the major products of the waters in the area of Barobo in the area of Surigao del Sur. Seaweeds are farmed by selecting an area in which the desired species are endemic and with a water depth of about half a meter at low tide and at least two meters at high tide, so that seaweeds will not be overexposed to sunlight and air during low tide and will be exposed to enough sunlight penetration during high tide. Seawater temperature should be between 27° and 30°C.

Well anyway, I will not let you think about it for too long. I think most of us already know what Eucheuma or guso here in the Philippines.
For those who do not know how to prepare this side dish, now is the time to try this.

  4. Now, mix the guso and all the other ingredients then add vinegar, salt and sugar. I used sugar so that it will have a sweet and sour taste.
