Scientists are currently cultivating a marine plant that's packed with more nutrients than the trendy green superfood kale. And it naturally tastes like bacon.

Bacon-flavored crackers. Bacon-flavored salad dressing. These are just two of the savory treats that have been created so far using the domesticated strain of dulse (Palmaria palmata), a kind of red algae, or seaweed, that typically grows in the waters along northern Pacific and Atlantic coastlines.

I wonder if this will pass muster with my kosher- and halal-observing friends.

    That makes it a nutritious food, but not necessarily a healthy food.

    Seaweed vs. bacon: it's not rocket science.

      If you really think it's that easy, you should eat deadly nightshade. After all, as fruit it should be much more healthy than for example a steak.
