Sea vegetables are full of goodness. Not only are they rich in minerals, they’re also a source of other essential nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins, while the protein makeup is like that of eggs.

Seaweed supplements are an ideal addition to any diet. Being plant-derived makes them a good source of additional nutrients suitable for vegan/vegetarian diets.

Sea vegetables found at HealthPost include:

• Kelp – rich in iodine
• Dulse – high in protein
• Wakame – sweetest tasting seaweed
• Kombu – Japanese for kelp, it is dried in strips
• Sea spaghetti – noodle shaped and mild in taste
• Sea lettuce – bright green, great source of iron

Organic seaweed supplements claim to be the most highly mineralised plants on earth and they are super convenient as they can be added to salads or soups, used as seasoning, or just eaten as a snack.
