Nu{trient} Foods:: Sea Vegetables +Deconstructed Sushi Salad Recipe


Sea Vegetables also know as algae and seaweed are a world food of goodness. Some of the more recognizable types of seaweed are nori, hijiki, laver, wakame, kombu, and dulse.

Because of various heavy metals that have polluted water over the years, including arsenic being present in many sources of seaweed, make sure you purchase certified organic seaweed. A few trusted brands include: Maine Coast Sea Vegetables, Eden Foods, and Emerald Cove. You can find any of these brands at a local health food store or co-op. The 4th Street Food Co-op in NYC for example sells many of these seaweeds in bulk.

Most seaweeds are dehydrated and packaged; they just require a few minutes of soaking and a good thorough rinse.

Nutrients
1/4 cup of sea veggies (algae) provide over 270% of daily iodine needed, vit k, folate, magnesium, calcium, iron, and vit B, and lignans (a phytonutrient show to have cancer-inhibitors).

Benefits
They are noted for supporting healthy thyroid function, a preventative for cardiovascular diesease and birth defects, have an-inflammatory properties, and relief for menopausal symptoms.*
