While many people are seeking to make
health and wellness a priority, the trend of incorporating sea
vegetables is on the rise. From making soaps, conditioners and even
novelty chips, sea vegetables are making their way to the mainstream.
Which is an awesome thing because conventional diet lacks sufficient
amounts of iodine and other antioxidants. But for those of you that
may not be familiar with sea vegetables, allow me to provide a brief
introduction.
Sea vegetables are seaweeds that grow
in or around coastal regions and oceans. They are truly one of
nature's most potent super foods. From addressing thyroid issues to
weight loss and hair growth, sea veggies, are crucial to restoring
health imbalances. Additionally, sea vegetables can be added to
compost, and can even be used as a mulch within the garden.
In this week's segment I discuss dulse,
bladderwrack and irish moss. I also make mention of nori and kelp.
Here are some nutritional points about each one:

No matter which sea vegetable you
select, just be sure that its source is one that is harvested in a
sustainable and wild crafted way. There have been reports about
levels of radioactive iodine being found in sea vegetables as well as
other foods (The Fukushima Effect). It is a great idea to do your
due diligence before indulging. Here is a quick word about
radioactive iodine and its implications on RT news.
All in all, sea vegetables can be used in soups, salads, teas and smoothies. Other creative uses are body wraps and even taking seaweed baths. Find out which way works for you and if you have discovered any other uses for sea vegetables, share the wealth :)
