Sea Grapes or Ar-Arusip or Lato
Ilocanos call these “ar-arusip” while the Visayans call these “lato”
What exactly is this all about? The green seaweed or Caulerpa lentillifera.
I grew up in a coastal province eating this together with fried or grilled fish.The ar-arusip I knew always come in a bowl with fresh tomatoes and onions. So this is what I serve whenever I have the chance to buy it in a wet market.
The lowly ar-arusip or lato is a good source of iron, iodine, calcium and vitamins A and C. Click here to read.
