Plancton Marino - Marine Plankton, Angel Leon

Plancton Marino in Puerto Sta Maria, Cadiz, is the only company in the world that is allowed to offer plankton for consumption. Of the approximately 800,000 plankton species, a plankton suitable for human consumption is collected and sorted on a coated agar-agar layer. At harvest time, the liquid is centrifuged. What remains is a super-green pasty mass, living plankton. Freeze-drying turns the mass into a durable powder. It tastes like `shrimp`, no - shrimp taste like plankton because they feed on it. Add to that the aroma of roasted Yaki Nori leaves, some mineral and slightly roasted pine nuts / hazelnuts. The processing is quite simple. It is stirred in the ratio 1: 5 with eg water and salt. Swell for 5 min. Plankton needs salt to activate all flavors. This mixture is then only about 24 hours stable, then reduced the quality. For a sashimi, the fish can also be coated with a salt solution and sprinkled with the plankton powder. It works as umami for fish and seafood.
