Asparagopsis taxiformis
Asparagopsis taxiformis, Limu kohu formerly A. sanfordiana[1]) is a kind of red algae, one of several limu used in the Cuisine of Hawaii as a condiment.[2] Limu kohu in the Hawaiian language means "pleasing seaweed".[3] It is one of the most popular edible algae used in Hawaii.[4]
Limu kohu is a traditional ingredient in poke.
The essential oil of limu kohu is 80% bromoform (tri-bromo-methane).[5] by weight, and includes many other bromine- and iodine-containing organic compounds.[2]
