International Laverbread Day
Discover a healthy ingredient that comes from the sea on April 14th. This dish is commemorated on International Laverbread Day, which is based on seaweed's long history.
A diaphanous red algae abundantly along Wales' rocky coast, Laverbread is the cooked version of 'laver' – porphyra seaweed. The Welsh have traditionally made laverbread from laverbread for centuries, as well as a law governing bara and Welshman's caviar. Not to be confused with sliced bread, laverbread is made by seaweed preparation and the production of green gluey sludge. So what's appetizing about it? Well, for some, laverbread is considered a delicacy. For those people, it may be an acquired taste. And yet, for some, it's neither acquired nor delicacy.
However, laverbread can be added to many dishes. Despite the long cooking time (8 hours!) laverbread adds a salty sea taste to the dish. Add laverbread to soups, dried and crumbled over vegetables, salads, eggs, and even baked into bread. Traditionally, the Welsh roll laverbread in oatmeal was fried or spread it on toast before frying or spreading it on toast.
Humans have been eating seaweed for thousands of years, including laver. Since laver contains more vitamins and minerals than any land-based vegetable, it makes a healthy addition to any meal.
Future food
Laver also supplies 80 percent of the world's oxygen, earning it the nickname "Lungs of the World." So this "future food" ticks all the boxes for sustainability.

History of an international laverbread day has spanned history
International Laverbread Day was established in 2021 to share its passion of laver and all of its benefits. Jonathan Williams founded the company in 2011, manufacturing various seaweed-based items. Laver Seaweed, the company's true love, but Laver Seaweed is the company's true love. If seaweed is the heart of its company, then Laver seaweed, which is infused with Welsh Heritage, is Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company's champion.
Local food producers and the environment come first, according to Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company, who puts local food producers and the environment first. Their mission includes using biodegradable packaging and disposables, renewable energy where appropriate, and embedding sustainability principles at every level throughout the organization.
About the pembrokeshire beach food company, the pembrokeshire beach food company was founded
Jonathan Williams founded his award-winning company out of a passion for laverbread. He returned to Wales in 2010 after working a desk job in Swindon, focusing on Welsh seafood delicacies, particularly laverbread made from his local coast.
Freshwater West's pop-up market stall grew from a pop-up market stall to a permanent van, where people waited to buy items such as lobster rolls, crab rolls, and breakfast buns stuffed with bacon, egg, cheese, seaweed butter, and laverbread patties, as the company expanded over the years. Jonathan has taken over the lease at The Old Point House, an iconic old smugglers' inn reached across a tidal causeway on Angle, Pembrokeshire, from Jonathan. The venerable pub will get a new lease on life, thanks in part to a repurposed boat selling street food in the pub garden, and Pepeeshire Beach Food Company will be present. In addition, the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company has an online shop that sells dried laver (Welshman's caviar), Môr Ketchup (seaweed ketchup sauce), seaweed butter, seaweed pesto, and others. Jonathan introduced Barti Rum, a seaweed spiced rum, in 2017.
