Zinc benefits bones, the cell division process, vision, the immune system, your hair, skin and nails and memory. Vitamin E and manganese are antioxidants that are cell-protective, and vitamin B3 (niacin) helps fight fatigue, supports energy levels and contributes to mental resilience. Seaweed also provides prebiotic polysaccharides.

The finer things (to know) about seaweed

Seaweed is the collective name for a group of unrelated large algae that live in salt or brackish water. They are also called marine algae or macroalgae. They occur in all of the world's oceans and are also often found near river mouths. Some species can adhere to hard substrates, while others float freely in the sea. Some seaweed species can grow as long as 60 meters! Seaweeds are extremely strong and withstand solar radiation, exposure to air and the violent wave movements of water. They are the most resilient and prolific plant species on earth, come in a variety of shapes, sizes and structures, and are packed with nutrients. In fact, of all plants worldwide they contain the most minerals, as they absorb them directly from the ocean, and can store them in their cellular structure. Thus, because they grow in the sea, seaweeds have unique properties compared to land plants. Seaweeds are naturally rich in minerals and trace elements such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron and iodine, and they contain several trace elements. Seaweed is also a source of antioxidants, prebiotic fiber, vitamins A, C and E and plant proteins. Unsurprisingly, in many countries it has been believed since time immemorial that seaweed can contribute to good health!

Our past and future with seaweed

The history of seaweed as a food, medicine, utensil and care product goes back thousands of years. Although it was also used and eaten in Europe and North America, it is particularly widespread in Asian culture. For example, it was used as a remedy by Emperor Shen Nung as early as 5,000 years ago. Archaeological evidence from Chile shows that seaweed was used by humans as early as 12,000 years BCE.

Most researchers agree that seaweed was essential for the development of our brain and nervous system. Our ancestors could actually only find the fatty acids needed for this in coastal regions, with access to fish and shellfish, which in turn obtained the fatty acids from algae like seaweed

Today, seaweed is regaining popularity all over the world, not only because it is rich in nutrients, but also because it offers many environmental benefits. Think about it: seaweed is hugely nutritious, grows easily and at lightning speed, and can be grown or cultivated in almost every country in the world without major impact on existing ecosystems. So adding seaweed to our daily diet is not only good for our health, it also offers potential solutions to the world's food problem. Moreover, it can be used to generate energy and make biodegradable packaging material, making it a promising contribution to a sustainable world.
