Sea Vegetables for Health

Sea Vegetables for Health 

Sea vegetables, which are commonly referred to as algae or seaweed, have been a staple  food since ancient times.  Archaeological findings trace human seaweed consumption back to over 10,000 years ago. While, in ancient times,  sea vegetables  were widely consumed globally in countries located by the sea, including the U.K., Ireland, Norway, the Pacific Islands, African countries, and the Americas, in modern days, they have become primarily associated with Asian cuisine.  algae are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, poly unsaturated fatty acids, and dietary fibers, and numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the health benefits of seaweed consumption.
