About Seaweed

Seaweed, a nutrient-rich marine plant, is a staple in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Japan, Korea, and China. It comes in various types, including nori, kelp, wakame, and dulse, each offering distinct textures and flavors. Packed with vitamins A, C, E, and K, seaweed is also an excellent source of iodine, crucial for thyroid health. Additionally, it contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, alongside antioxidants and fiber that support digestion and immune function. Low in calories and fat, seaweed is considered a superfood, often used in sushi, soups, salads, and snacks. However, its high iodine content may pose risks if consumed in excess, especially for those with thyroid conditions. Seaweed is also naturally salty, so monitoring sodium intake is advised. Including seaweed in a balanced diet can be a highly beneficial way to enhance nutrition and add unique flavor.
