About Algae
Algae are nutrient-rich aquatic plants widely consumed in Asian cuisine, such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese dishes, often used in soups, salads, and sushi. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, algae are a natural source of essential nutrients like iodine, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin K. These nutrients support thyroid function, bone health, and heart health, while their powerful antioxidants protect against cellular damage. Algae also contain dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety. Popular types include seaweed, spirulina, and chlorella, each offering unique nutritional profiles. Low in calories and fat, algae can be a great choice for those seeking a healthy addition to their meals. However, some individuals should moderate intake due to high iodine levels or risk of contamination with heavy metals in poorly sourced products. Always choose high-quality and sustainably harvested algae for the best health benefits.
