Sea vegetables, also known as seaweed and algae, are amongst the healthiest foods in the world, according to many experts. They are great sources of Vitamin K, iodine, B vitamins, magnesium, iron and calcium. They also contain good amounts of lignans, which help fight against tumors and the spread of cancer cells. Common sea vegetables are: Arame, Dulse, Kombu, Hijiki, Nori and Wakame. They may sound completely foreign to you, but try looking at your local health food store or oriental market and you’ll find some great items. [1]
