ʻO kahi meaʻai punahele o nā miliona, kahi huahana i komo i kēlā me kēia kīʻaha mai ka saladi a hiki i ka mea ʻai, kahi pōhaku kihi i ka ʻai o nā mea ʻai ʻiʻo a me kahi mea make no nā mea ʻai meaʻai. Hoʻolaʻa ʻia nā ʻahaʻaina a me nā meme pūnaewele nona. E pili ana i ka puaʻa. Ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ua kaulana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he huahana pono a maikaʻi hoʻi, akā me ia pū kekahi - hauʻoli! – aia kahi māhoe mea kanu pono.
Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema ma ke Kulanui o Oregon State i ka mea a lākou e ʻōlelo nei he puaʻa vegan. Ma kahi o 15 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Chris Langdon o ka Faculty of Fish and Wildlife i ka noiʻi ʻana i nā limu ʻulaʻula. ʻO ka hopena o kēia hana, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻano ʻano liʻiliʻi ʻulaʻula hou, ʻo ia ka mea, ke ʻai a puhi ʻia paha, ua like loa me ka puaʻa. ʻOi aku ka wikiwiki o kēia ʻano limu ʻulaʻula ma mua o nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe a hiki ke lilo i mea nui o ka meaʻai mea kanu.
Loaʻa ma nā kapakai o ka Moana ʻAkelanika a me ka Moana Pākīpika (ka nui o nā kahakai ʻākau, me Iceland, Kanada a me nā ʻāpana o ʻIlani, kahi i hoʻohana ʻia ai lākou i meaʻai a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau no nā kenekulia), aia kēia algae hou i nā huaora, nā minerala a me nā antioxidants e hana ai. olakino kupaianaha. ʻO ka mōʻaukala, he kumu meaʻai hihiu a me ka lāʻau lapaʻau maoli no ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi scurvy a me ka thyroid. E like me ka nui o nā algae, hiki ke ʻala a puhi ʻia nā limu ʻulaʻula hiki ke ʻai ʻia, a maloʻo maikaʻi hoʻi. ʻO ka mea hou aʻe, ma hope o ka maloʻo ʻana, loaʻa iā lākou he 16% protein, kahi e hoʻohui pono ai i ko lākou pono i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā meaʻai vegan a me nā meaʻai meaʻai.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka limu ʻulaʻula he kumu meaʻai no nā snails (ʻo ia ke kumu o ke aʻo ʻana), akā ma hope o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ka ʻoihana ʻoihana o ka papahana, ua hoʻomaka nā loea ʻē aʻe e hui pū me Langdon.
"ʻO ka limu ʻulaʻula kahi meaʻai nui me ka pālua o ka waiwai o ka meaʻai o ka kale," wahi a Chuck Toombs, he mea haʻiʻōlelo no ke Kulanui o Oregon College of Business a me kekahi o ka poʻe i hui pū me Langdon i ka holomua o ka papahana. "A mahalo i ka ʻike ʻana o kā mākou kulanui i nā algae kanu ponoʻī, loaʻa iā mākou ka manawa e lele-hoʻomaka i ka ʻoihana hou o Oregon."
Hiki i nā limu ʻai ʻulaʻula ke hoʻopilikia i ka noʻonoʻo o ka hapa nui: olakino lākou, maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi i ka hana ʻana, ua hōʻoia ʻia ko lākou mau pono i ka ʻepekema; a ke lana nei ka manaʻolana e lilo ana nā limu ʻulaʻula i pale e pale aku ai i ke kanaka mai ka luku nui ʻana i nā holoholona.
