Seaweed is a large part of almost all coastal diets—Japan, Korea, China,
Iceland, Denmark, Hawaii, and more—and for good reason. There is
definitely something to this. Seaweed offers a variety of health
benefits that many of us are missing out on; not only that, but the wide
range of nutrients that seaweed contains is a benefit in and of itself.
Many of these nutrients are not found in the everyday plants that are
eaten in America. Since seaweed is native to the sea, it soaks up all
the nutrients there. For this reason, seaweed supplements have been
experiencing a surge in popularity, both for the nutrients available in
them and the benefits that the supplements can potentially have on the
body.
