Seaweed is an increasingly popular ingredient in cuisines all over the world. It's the best dietary source of iodine, which helps support your thyroid gland. It also contains other vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin K, B vitamins, zinc, and iron, along with antioxidants that help protect your cells from damage.
“Even with a smaller amount of seaweed, you can get a lot more nutrients out of it than ground vegetables,” Hatanaka says, such as magnesium and iron. Many seaweeds also contain vitamin A, vitamin K, folate and some vitamin B12, though not all types contain B12 that can be digested by humans.
