It has been sold for centuries in a dried form around northern Europe, used in cooking and as a nutritional supplement. ... Chris Langdon has created a new strain of the weed which looks like a translucent red lettuce. An excellent source of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, the "superfood" contains up to 16 per cent protein in dry weight. ... It has twice the nutritional value of kale."

Sounds intriguing, but they will need to get the price down. The article referenced says a dried strain currently sells for $90 for 500g (1.1 lbs). I can buy a lot of real bacon for $90.
