Description

Seaweed, or sea vegetables, are rich in antioxidants, fibre, magnesium, potassium, iron, and a number of trace minerals. Seaweed is often used as a non-animal, natural, source of essential B₁₂ by vegetarians and vegans.

Nori wraps are probably the most common use for seaweed -- it's that fine dark green wrap holding together your sushi. Wakame is used in soups, stews, salads, or as a condiment. It is particularly known for its high calcium content at 47mg per 30g serving. Kombu, or kelp, can reduce high blood pressure.
