Today, we’re over in Orinda hanging out with friends…
Annmarie wanted to make a raw food lunch for everyone and decided on a basil pesto with kelp noodles.
We’ve been eating this once or twice a week now, because the tomatoes are ripe and the basil is awesome right now!
Take a look…
Your question of the day: Have you tried kelp noodles and what did you put on them?

Kelp noodles are just air dried? Can I find them at Whole Foods?
7:32 pm on July 31st, 2009
That looks awesome! It’s great to see how you made it. Where do you get kelp noodles? I’ve also used walnuts to make pesto – but don’t use almonds
7:41 pm on July 31st, 2009
Thank you for this great recipe..
I tried the Kelp Noodles ONCE and wasn’t that impressed but WILL try them again with this YUMMY recipe..
Blessings, Marina

Kelp noodles are great! So far I have just used them added to salads. I am glad to learn about soaking them, because the last bag I opened stated a little funny–now I now why.
I look forward to the pesto recipe–our farmers’ market has wonderful tomatoes and basil.
Oh, yes–today I finished off my first attempt at coconut kefir. And it was just delicious. Tomorrow am off to buy some more and will make some of the yogurt/pudding as well.

I love Basil pesto, I put fresh parsley and homegown garlic in mine, I eat it on broccoli-wockely
7:50 pm on July 31st, 2009
Not yet!
7:53 pm on July 31st, 2009
Where do you get them from? I’ve looked everywhere, WholeFoods doesn’t have them, neither does the health food store or the Raw/Vegan restaurant/store carry them. So where do I find them? I would love to make a “pasta” dish.
7:54 pm on July 31st, 2009
I have tried them. I can’t recall what I put on them. I just know that they still tasted way too much like seaweed. I think your pesto recipe will do the trick, so will probably try again.
Thank you both for all the great recipes and info. You are a real blessing.

7:58 pm on July 31st, 2009
I have kelp noodles. I chop them up real well and put them in my salad. They don’t taste or smell like of seaweed so I can eat them!
8:13 pm on July 31st, 2009
I love Kelp noodles! As I’m sure most of you know sea weeds (saltwater algae) are the best source of minerals, including all the trace minerals, way higher in minerals than almost any other food. And natural iodine for healthy thyroid!! First time I tried kelp noodles was at Chaco Canyon restaurant in Seattle.
And kelp is very detoxifying, pulling heavy metals out of the body. Just like in they clean up the Earth from pollution, the fresh and saltwater algae clean up our bodies of toxins and pollution. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the traditional folk Japanese that included sea weeds in their diets survived the radiation miles closer to the nuclear blasts some with little to no effect. For some awesome articles on surviving the nuclear age without disease using seaweeds check out my friend Ryan Drums website, http://www.ryandrum.com, he is a wealth of AMAZING information.
8:17 pm on July 31st, 2009
Yes, I love kelp in salads.
8:19 pm on July 31st, 2009
you can get them on west coast, i know for sure they are available in stores in Cali and hawaii…..the east caost definetely doesnt sell yet….go to:
kelpnoodles.com
Sea Tangle is the company
you can buy a case of 12 for a good price
8:32 pm on July 31st, 2009
I love kelp noodles as part of a raw pad thai. I make the almond butter sauce out of Ani Phyo’s book (I use stevia instead of dates) and then mix it into the kelp noodles with some zucchini noodles with some red cabbage and cherry tomatoes. I also may eat all of that on a bed of spinach and with a side of kimchee (that I made myself- I like the recipe out of the book wild fermentation).
I have gotten my kelp noodles from raw food world.
The pesto recipe looks yum!
8:32 pm on July 31st, 2009
I have had kelp noodles in my cupboard for quite awhile now and have been afraid to make anything with them. This recipe has inspired me to take give the noodles a try, I love pesto. thanks!
8:44 pm on July 31st, 2009
What synchronicity! Not half hour ago, I emailed to Lucas at Yogabody my recipe for Rawvioli with Two Sauces – Pesto and Marinara. If you’re on his email list, you’ll be getting it. Yes, I’ve tried kelp noodles, with a sauce of raw tahini, ginger, some almond butter, a little raw chickpea miso, and New Mexico chile. I usually thin this with a water, but the kelp noodles are wet, so I don’t bother. Top this with very thinly sliced scallion. I love my sea vegetables! Health and peace.
9:23 pm on July 31st, 2009
Kelp noodles are great with any good sauce. Can’t wait to try your pesto. I’ve been making Jennifer Cornbleet’s delicious marinara sauce to top the noodles. I like your good tip about softening them. Thanks so much for your continued fun and educational videos. I, too, buy the kelp noodles from therawfoodworld.com. Cheers, Kakali
9:33 pm on July 31st, 2009
I have some kelp noodles and was going to make pesto to have with the noodles! I’m gonna try ur recipe Annemarie! It looks yummy! We have a bunch of health food stores here on Maui but I only found kelp noodles in one store! I love them! Thanks again!!
9:40 pm on July 31st, 2009
Love it!!! Cutest kid ever! Ok, so where do we find the noodles??? Watch out Kevin, he might take over the whole show!
9:40 pm on July 31st, 2009
We usually make an almond butter, tamari, hemp seed, etc.. asian kind of dressing.. heh.
I’ve also made a marinara sauce with it as well.
We love kelp noodles, takes 20 seconds and they are ready to eat.. can’t beat that.
9:41 pm on July 31st, 2009
No, not much chance of getting kelp noodles here in Japan, where every other seaweed product is so readily available. My supermarket just started stocking basil and pine nuts (non-org, of course), so I can at least have a go at making that awesome looking pesto.
9:47 pm on July 31st, 2009
Jenny, you can get kelp noodles from the Raw Food World. I just bought some and was wondering what to do with them…now I know!! Thanks so much for the recipe, Ann Marie
9:50 pm on July 31st, 2009
Not yet, but I am excited to try them. I just finished Your book High Raw!!!!!!!!!!! Really good information and tips!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
9:53 pm on July 31st, 2009
Kym, I live in Japan too and have found kelp noodles here by mail order. If you want the info on where to get them, contact me at barbarastein@yahoo.com
9:53 pm on July 31st, 2009
I’ll probably never find kelp noodles in rural Colorado, why are they not green????
10:01 pm on July 31st, 2009
The Lyle show is too cool…. Guess we will need to get your “Smoovie” recipe book!
10:03 pm on July 31st, 2009
Oh wow! I just finished putting together a kelp nooodle salad recipe. However, I wish I had checked my email first so that I would have known to soak them. I did run them under water for several minutes.
The salad contains: baby bok choy, greeen onion, garlic, lime juice, sundried tomatoes, cilantro, sesame oil & toasted sesame oil, cayenne, red pepper flakes, nama shoyu or braggs aminos, agave, salt. garnish with avocado and/or crushed peanuts.
I purchased my noodles through Matt Monarch
10:06 pm on July 31st, 2009
Hi , I have had kelp noodles and am eating them right now as I speak , they are fabulous , now are you getting yours dry and then you soak them, as the ones I have are in green tea…They are very expensive for a limited amount …I have mine with mustard , or cilantro dressing , unlimited ways always ….try almond butter, garlic , with braggs or nama shoyu with water if you do not have a wheat allergy..Have agreat day !

I WAS THINKING ABOUT GROWING A CHERIMOYA TREE IN MY BACK YARD. THE POLLINATION PROCESS OF THE CHERIMOYA MAKES ME THINK ABOUT IT TWICE. HAVE YOU EVER HAD CHERIMOYA?
11:06 pm on July 31st, 2009
I’m so excited I just placed an order for kelp noodles….. I have been slow with placing the order because I have a hard time with dulse, and kelp sometimes. But your dressing should help. I will let you know next week. I ordered them from http://www.Therawfoodworld.com Thanks for all you guys do.
11:08 pm on July 31st, 2009
I’m a little confused about the kelp noodels. Are the ones you used dry?
11:20 pm on July 31st, 2009
Honey in Pesto? You two have a sweet tooth!
Pesto is one of those things that works better in a food processor. You won’t have to use as much oil or any H2O.
Can’t wait to try kelp noodles.
Bon Appetit!
11:20 pm on July 31st, 2009
I’m not yet a lover of kelp noodles. Ordered bags to Colorado. I can tolerate them for sure, but the initial smell is enough to turn anyone off. With new ideas here maybe I can turn around my thinking?
I do have a few bags I can share with Kathy Thompson. I’m on facebook and twitter by my name here. I’m between Denver/Boulder if you get up this way. I hope this works.
11:22 pm on July 31st, 2009
ooh yum I love kelp noodles!!! I make lovely fresh herloom tomato based soup with lots of herbs that I have on hand ,heavy on the basil, pepper, salt, hemp seed oil maybe a little spice then I take a mound of noodles and place them in my bowl pour the soup over and add diced avocado and sometimes some white corn kernals maybe a little cuke too. Torn dandelion greens are great also. I often have this quick thrown together soup when the farmers market is bursting with produce and just recently started to add the noodles and boy is that a winner addition!!!! Is anyone else concerned with what they do to young coconuts to ship them here? I started buying frozen organic coco meat and found 100% raw organic coco water to replace the sketchy thai nobody really seems to know what they do to perserve them so I stay away!!
11:23 pm on July 31st, 2009
Yep! I used (a slightly modified version of) the Creamy Thai Dressing in the book Everyday Raw by Matthew Kenney. Yum! Thanks for the pesto recipe!
11:55 pm on July 31st, 2009
I’ve made a few things with kelp noodles. I’ve made a soup with kombu seaweed broth and summer rolls. I really enjoyed getting the tip on soaking them. I’m glad to know how to make them softer. Now I will probably use them more since I did not know how to soften them up better before. ANOTHER FUN SHOW! THANKS!

I LOVE kelp noodles. My children love them with italian dressing. I like to eat them with my homemade italian dressing or teriyaki dressing. YUM!!
I think they are better if you soak them, but my kids like the crunch so I don’t soak them for my kids.
12:03 am on August 1st, 2009
I bought kelp noodles through Matt Monarch’s web site. even though I soaked them all night, they tasted like petroleum to me; Just nasty. I bought 5 packs; tried 3 and threw out 2. Someone told me that she soakes them in olive oil and lots of garlic overnight. It is not worth it to me. I can do without them.

12:21 am on August 1st, 2009
Great recipe! My son is allergic to all nuts and most seeds, except pumpkin seeds. Everything I make him is always GREEN because of the pumpkin seeds, but they might actually work well in this recipe that’s supposed to be green!
We have lots of fresh basil, and abundance of tomatoes and kelp noodles in the cupboard… will give it a try!
12:39 am on August 1st, 2009
I was wondering if you knew of foods (raw, vegan), that is fatning?…my daughter is really, really skinny, and she needs healthy fats. I want to try this raw, vegan thing, but I want to make sure that she gets enough nutrients, protien, vit b 12, calcium, and fat, fat, fat. Any suggestions for a good raw vegan diet, for children? Any suggestions for getting enough vit b 12, and lots of good fats? ~ Thnks

OMG! That kid is too cute! Kevin, you should let him do your intros all of the time.
Thanks for the recipe. Awesome! (well I better try it first)
8:16 am on August 1st, 2009
Hi Kevin–I can’t see the videos on your site. I feel like I’m missing out out on all the cool stuff you’re sharing. What can I do to get in on all the fun?
Thanks!

After trying kelp noodles two times — yeech!! — I wondered why I ever thought about giving up real noodles.
This recipes sounds great — easy to do and yummy. I think the other three bags are still around (I too bought 5 bags off Matt Monarch’s website). I’m hoping to be a convert!
9:45 am on August 1st, 2009
why don’t you soak your pine nuts?????
10:43 am on August 1st, 2009
this looks really delicious… um, Kevin I’d like to point out that having your website url on the screen is a good idea but it does cover most of what Annmarie is doing with her hands…
11:12 am on August 1st, 2009
I’ve never tried kelp noodles. It is next on my list!
This pesto sounds great. I’m allergic to pine nuts, but no other nuts, so I’m definitely looking for alternatives to use. Are there any nuts other that macadamia nuts that would be a good substitute for pine? The only way I can safely eat pesto is if I make it myself – which I have yet to master.
Thanks for another great recipe!

Mmmm. THis looks soo good! And the kids are too adorable!
We have never bought Kelp Noodles but have tried them in a restaurant before. In a soup I think.
We are totally getting these though.
And thanks for the new pesto recipe. Gotta try this! Never used honey.
I have to say.. I used to be sooo addicted to cheese and could not even imagine pesto with out my parmesean. But after cutting back on my intake of cheese, I am still really enjoying things. Like pesto or even pizza! Amazing how far Ive come!!!
Mahalo to both for your inspiration!

I love kelp noodles! I bought mine from RawFood World-they were very delicious. My non-raw friends tried them and they loved it too! I have had kelp noodles with a raw marinara type sauce (recipe from Rawvolution), basil/pesto sauce (very similiar to Annmarie’s (I have not tried it with honey yet), and my favorite way to enjoy kelp is with an asian style sauce and added julienne veggies. Thanks for sharing your pesto recipe!
3:43 pm on August 1st, 2009
First I rinse and drain my kelp noodles. Then I soak them in water with juice from about 1/2 of a lemon for about 30-40 min. This takes away any bitter taste there might be and it softens the noodles to a cooked pasta texture.
I’ve served them with basil and nut cheese sauces and also prepared a thai soup with seasoning packets from store boughten soups, natural ones of course. I love them. I never really liked the spiral sliced zucchini pasta.
4:41 pm on August 1st, 2009
My kids LOVE kelp noodles. I make a raw vegan cheeze sauce and let it soak overnight so the noodles get soft. Also put Raw vegan tomato sauce on them and of course pesto sauce.
Thanks for the recipe!!
5:42 pm on August 1st, 2009
Kelp noodles hey? never even heard of them but ill be sure to look around for them. Do they taste sorta like pasta? Im not a fan of pasta at all,
BUT i made pesto earlier this week (the other recipe you guys have up) and ive been having it on salads, and also pesto stuffed mushrooms, so yummy!
Im intrigued by the honey and lemon in this recipe!
7:42 pm on August 1st, 2009
Hi Kevin & Annmarie
Thank you for the recipe. It looks yummy. I add nutritional yeast flakes to my pesto for a “cheesy” taste. I haven’t tried kelp noodles yet, but I use dried reconstituted kelp in salads.
7:47 pm on August 1st, 2009
I have been using Kelp Noodles for a few weeks now in salads and soups. The rinsing and soaking is a nice tip. I have only been rinsing mine and for the most part they taste fine, just a bit salty. But just tried some after soaking, a little less crunchy, but no as salty as before with the same brand.
I have trying out different sauces and “dressings” on them, and eating raw for lunch is getting easier with packing my food for the day.
Also thanks for the recipe ideas in the comments folks, keep them coming! It’s been helping a lot with variety, when I get stuck for what to do with something.

Where do you find the kelp noodles and how pricey are they?
This recipe looks yummy!
10:20 am on August 2nd, 2009
That was a great video!! Pesto looks great, even without the cat treats!! Kid to funny!!
12:54 pm on August 2nd, 2009
Kelp noodles, eh? The big problem with kelp in general is, it’s so high in iodine, like many other sea veg. I know someone on calorie restriction who got a toxic dose of iodine from putting kombu in soups, so I think people should take that seriously. Twice a week may be ok, tho.
How processed is this ‘raw’ kelp? Sounds a bit like kon-nyaku.
4:40 pm on August 2nd, 2009
I love basil and pasta! I am looking forward to trying some great foods at VeggieFest in Naperville Illinois this upcoming weekend! It would be great if you guys could make it there in the Green Van!
To Your Health!

Hi Guys. Great recipe I look forward to making it.
I have never tried kelp noodles or seen them anywhere but i will look for them now.
I was surprised that they are white.
I thought all seaweed was green.
Is there a reason and how are these processed that makes them raw.
thanks in advance for your answer
6:16 pm on August 2nd, 2009
I didn’t even know about kelp noodles. They are on my shopping list now.
Thanks for another great recipe.
9:44 pm on August 2nd, 2009
Hi Kevin and Annemarie, Just want to say thanks for all the info you are putting out. It’s good to get this regularly. Here in Melbourne Australia we are not as advanced in the rawfood movement and it great how you bring us into your life in a fun and welcoming way. Good stuff. Will begin to introduce the kelp noodles now. Thanks
9:58 pm on August 2nd, 2009
Hi, I use Kelp noodles and love them soaked in water with a little nutritional yeast and I add carrots, and fresh peas as a soup. I have used tofu noodles before I found kelp noodles. They were good. Love the recipes and pesto is one of my favorites. Thanks for all of fantastic recipes each week, throughly enjoy your show.
11:35 am on August 3rd, 2009
I was wondering how kelp noodles are made. And what is done to them to make them white, since kelp is naturally green. Thanks for all you do!
11:36 am on August 3rd, 2009
I always have kelp noodles on hand and use them as a spaghetti substitute with a marinara sauce. Now I’m going to branch out and try the pesto and the peanut sauce posted above.
In response to Sarah Coffey who wants her underweight daughter to gain weight on a raw food diet, you don’t necessarily need fat to gain fat. You just need extra calories. Nuts, seeds, oils, avocadoes, and coconut are all high in fats and calories. Sweet fruits are generally high in calories also. If she has a hard time gaining weight, you may want to investigate hyperthyroidism as an underlying cause as well. But nothing is healthier than a raw food diet. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself and your daughter.

Like a lot of people mentioned, I get my kelp noodles from Matt Monarch/Angela Stokes site the rawfoodworld.com–
I love a basil/greens/pine nut pesto or a sundried tomato pesto over them. Thanks for the tip about soaking– i usually only soak them in the fridge.
At first I thought the kelp noodles were too crunchy and not like pasta at all, but then I put the pesto on the noodles and let it warm for a few hours at room temp or better yet, on the window sill in the sun and it was delicious!
So how much should we be concerned about the iodine overdose PE mentioned above– I just saw Angela Stokes talk Thurs. at Catch a Healthy Habit and she says she has sea veggies daily to help her sluggish thyroid. Most days I eat kelp of some sort– how much is too much?
Thanks!
7:55 pm on August 4th, 2009
I’ve had them a few times with pesto as well.
I’m a bit concerned about that plastic smell you mentioned. I never stopped to think it was the packaging that smelled like that. I just thought it was the noodles that smelled like that.
8:27 pm on August 4th, 2009
I made pesto for supper tonight with whole grain spaghettini … then I watched your show. What a surprise!
No, I’ve never tried kelp noodles but will look for them now.
Ann Marie, I always taost my pine nuts slightly before using them in pesto. It enhances their flavour and you need less that way.
I have also never used lemon in pesto but it makes sense, to keep the basil from discoloring.
Hugs to Lyle.
10:36 am on August 5th, 2009
I got them from Sea Tangle company I think it is kelpnoodles.com. They are great with pesto – also made with spinach added if you don’t have masses of basil.
Delish also made with a sauce of ginger, garlic, agave nectar, chili, sesame seeds, raw and a drop of toasted(?) sesame oil, tamari and with spring onions, sliced peppers, a few cashew nuts and some seaweed flakes, mmmmm I am so hungry have to have some NOW!
5:41 pm on August 5th, 2009
We eat kelp noodles regularly. I buy them in bulk from Sea Tangle. I LOVE my Peanut Thai dressing over them! (garlic, ginger, nut butter…etc YUM)
9:11 pm on August 5th, 2009
I just got 4 packs of kelp noodles from Raw Food World, but now am pretty certain I don’t want to use them if they taste like plastic! I go to a great deal of trouble to grow and eat organic food, stay away from petroleum in plastic, why on earth would I eat something that has so absorbed the plastic that it now tastes like it! Just soaking it is not going to make the plastic that has been absorbed magically disappear. If anyone wants the 4 bags of kelp noodles I’d be happy to send them to you.
3:43 pm on August 6th, 2009
Wendy, if they haven’t already been taken I’d like them. I’ve never noticed a plasticky taste, so I figured rinsing them off would be like washing produce. And soaking them so as to soften.
4:57 pm on August 6th, 2009
I make Korean-style chap-chae with them. Add chopped bok choi, shitake mushroom, thin julienned carrot & zucchini, green onions, nama shoyu, a drop of sesame oil and sesame seeds. Yum!
6:00 pm on August 9th, 2009
Lauren–
Sorry, have been out of town, but yes, I still have them. Don’t know the mechanics of getting them to you. I mean, yes, I will mail them but I don’t know how to communicate with you to make that happen, lol.
11:57 am on August 13th, 2009
Arrrrgh! I keep reading that folks are able to get their kelp noodles to a ‘cooked pasta’ softness. I have tried every trick in the book – or at least all tricks I’ve read about or been told about. None of them worked.
I got my noodles from Sea Tangle and would love to order another box … but not if I can’t get the noodles soft.
It’s so weird because I first ate kelp noodles at a raw restaurant … very soft indeed!
I’ve written to Sea Tangle … haven’t heard back yet. I keep wondering … did I get a bad batch???? I don’t think so because there was no issue with plastic-ie smell.
With gratitude for any assistance.
11:28 pm on August 14th, 2009
I like them, but not all the time and i eat them with salt.Sometimes there is green tea in the package mixed in and it tastes awful that way. Thanks, sydni
3:59 am on August 25th, 2009
YUMMY
I get kelp noodles at Whole Foods in northern California for $2.99/pkg. They are in the refrigerator section.
I also live in a town with many Asian grocery stores. Kelp noodles are only $.99/pkg and the ingredients are exactly the same.
11:30 pm on November 18th, 2009
I had never even heard of kelp noodles until the pasta primavera recipe so no I haven’t had them
11:30 pm on December 14th, 2009
Nutritional values of kelp noodles
Kelp has approximately 45 cal per 100 grams, kelp noodles have 5 cal per 100 grams (almost like water). Kelp has 9g of carbs per 100 grams and the noodles have below one. This means that kelp noodle is watered down kelp in approximately 1:10 proportions. It would still have some minerals from kelp, but so has mineral water. In fact, there is no other food that comes in value as close to water than kelp noodles (perhaps with exception of iodine, which should still be decent in the noodles). Notice however, that we are comparing food to water. Food should be nourishing your body not just filling up your stomach. The kelp noodles are recommended to vegetarians and vegans, who already are missing some vital nutrients and have to make additional efforts to compensate for them. If someone likes the crunch of the noodle, it’s fine for a junk snack replacement but to suggest it as basic food component is ridiculous. And if you are looking for extra iodine, just get some real thing (meaning seaweed). You’ll please your body as well as your taste buds. For those with no experience with sea vegetables, might be worth to make a trip to a Japanese restaurant and get few samples on your plate.
3:39 pm on December 31st, 2009
The Whole Foods store on Ray Road in Chandler, Arizona has the kelp noodles in their Asian food chiller.

mom might have an issue or three. but who cares if we’re eating raw! therapy’s only getting cheaper, and it might just seem respectful to some to throw away the fruit of the earth and roll our eyes at its inferiority. it still required, and was nurtured by, our earth. nothing to throw away and roll our eyes at. in my humble, not fully raw, opinion.
4:59 pm on February 7th, 2012
She is very good at cooking intuitively
And such a beautiful smile! Thanks for the recipe!
