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.


 

Ailments / Situations Where Used

The various sea vegetables collectively referred to as seaweed are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, and immune supporting properties. Kombu, or kelp, can reduce high blood pressure. Nori contains anti-bacterial and blood thinning properties.
