Results: Seaweed

With the copious health benefits that seaweed provides, it's no wonder it has so many dietary functions. Seaweed extracts an amazing amount of nutrients from the ocean, and is most notable for its extremely high iodine content, able to exceed daily recommended values in just one dried gram of even the least potent species. Seaweed is also one of the richest plant sources of calcium. Some species, like nori, have a high protein content. Nori also has a vitamin C content 1.5 times that of oranges. Seaweed has other vitamins, like B12, and various species are rich in carotenes. Seaweed also has very little fat and a high fiber content. Besides the seaweed used in Sushi have you ever just eaten the strips like they were Potato Chips?

The Nori strips are very inexpensive, just as tasty and addictive as potato chips, and are available at all Asian Markets. Do you think you will give them a try?
