Sea Grapes, scientifically known as *Caulerpa lentillifera*, are a type of edible green algae native to tropical and subtropical coastal regions, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. They are prized in cuisines from countries like Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam, where they are enjoyed raw, often paired with vinegar-based sauces or used in salads. Sea Grapes are rich in nutrients, including vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iodine. They are also low in calories, making them a healthy addition to meals. Their high antioxidant content supports immune health, while their fiber aids digestion. However, some may need to moderate their intake due to the sodium occasionally found in sea grapes depending on preparation. Their distinct "sea-like" flavor and juicy, caviar-like texture make them a unique and nutrient-packed choice in coastal cooking traditions.
