EXTRA INFORMATION
Etymology
The genus name Fucus derives from the Greek phukos, "seaweed." The common name bladder wrack refers to the bladderlike air pods (vesicles) that help keep this plant afloat on the ocean. Also known as black tany, cutweed, dyer's fucus, kelpware, lady wrack, paddy tang, popping wrack, red fucus, rockwrack, sea oak, sea spirit, seaweed, or seawrack.
Culinary Uses
Bladder wrack can be eaten raw or cooked. It is rich in minerals and can improve the digestibility of fiber-rich foods, such as beans. It has a salty flavor and can be used as a seasoning.
Other Uses
Bladder wrack is often included in lotions for its skin-softening qualities and in shampoos and hair conditioners for its rich mineral content. The plant also makes a wonderful garden fertilizer.
