Seaweed

[Agoodenough]

I bought some seaweed during the week to add to my miso soups. Here are the benefits of seaweed.....

Like most land vegetables, seaweed contains vitamins A (beta carotene) and C. It is also rich in potassium, iron, calcium, iodine and magnesium, which are minerals concentrated in seawater. Seaweed is also one of the few vegetable sources of vitamin B-12.

In the photo one bowl is the dried seaweed as it comes in the packet and the other one is where I soaked it for 5 minutes.

I really like the taste as green vegetables are my favourite and it’s really good for you. You only need about a teaspoon per person as it doubles once soaked or added to soup.

Ali , that is a good idea. I often shred nori strips over my lunchtime salads which adds to the taste as well as being healthy.

Thank you Ali for sharing. I've often thought about eating seaweed but have never got round to it. I will have to see where I can buy it locally.

I bought it on line and it was quite cheap!

Thank you Ali, I'll have a look

Iodine and b12 are my top reasons for eating seaweed
