Seaweed is rich in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins B12, B1, A, C, E, and others. Its protein content is comparable to that of soybeans and six times that of rice. It contains about 67 times more vitamin A than milk, nine times more riboflavin than shiitake mushrooms, and 70 times more vitamin C than cabbage. It also offers multiple health benefits, including choline, carotene, thiamine, nourishing the kidneys and heart, lowering blood pressure, and promoting human metabolism.
Seaweed can help prevent aging in the human body. It contains a large amount of taurine, which helps lower harmful cholesterol and is beneficial for liver protection. One-third of seaweed is dietary fiber, which helps maintain intestinal health, expels carcinogens from the body, and is particularly beneficial for preventing colorectal cancer.
Because seaweed is rich in choline, regular consumption can help improve memory decline.
