Sea grapes (Caulerpa species. Chlorophyta) are widely consumed in the Pacific as a delicacy, a salad and as an addition to many dishes. The traditional harvesting and consumption of sea grapes in the Pacific may well have had their origins among South-East Asian peoples who migrated to and colonized the Pacific Islands 3-4,000 years ago. Sea grapes are consumed throughout the region by Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian peoples.
