What does algae taste like?

Question

What does algae taste like?

Answer 1

It depends on specifically what algae you're talking about.

The seaweed that you eat with sushi for example is an algae.  A lot of additives (e.g. coagulants for stuff like gelatin or ice cream) are also algal based.

Point is, there is no particular taste unique to algae.

Answer 2
