About Korean seaweed
Korean seaweed, known as "gim" in Korean cuisine, is a nutrient-dense food harvested from ocean waters and dried into thin sheets. Rich in vitamins and minerals, gim is a natural source of iodine, which supports thyroid health, as well as omega-3 fatty acids that benefit heart and brain function. It contains essential vitamins like A, C, and K, alongside antioxidants that help combat cellular damage. Low in calories but high in dietary fiber, seaweed aids digestion and promotes satiety. Often lightly roasted and seasoned with sesame oil and sea salt, gim is a flavorful snack or accompaniment to rice dishes. Despite its many health benefits, consumption should be moderated due to its high sodium levels and concentrated iodine content, which could pose risks for individuals with specific sensitivities or conditions. A staple in Korean cuisine, gim embodies both nutritional value and rich cultural heritage.
