Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Seaweed: Should we be eating more of it?
Seaweed is a popular food in coastal regions like Japan, Korea, and
China. There are over 140 edible seaweed species but only several of them are produced
commercially, such as nori, wakame, dulse, and kelp. Dried nori is mainly used for
sushi and rice balls, and wakame, dulse, and kelp are often used in soups and
salads. Seawood is considered a superfood because of its nutritious benefits and
sustainability. It contains protein, fiber, polyphenols, and iodine, which
could reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and blood pressure. Unlike
meat or bread, seaweed isn’t eaten as the main part of the meal but is served
to complement the dishes. If it is consumed moderately, you can make the dishes
more palatable while enjoying health benefits.

meals.
