I am a big fan of seaweed but many people don’t like the taste, I understand that. Here is a recipe with seaweed that is easy to make and you can’t even taste the seaweed. Seaweed has lots of minerals which supply your body with energy. Seaweed is full of iodine to support your endocrine system especially your thyroid. Seaweed has calcium in a form easily absorbed by your body to support your bones. It helps you easily absorb calcium and magnesium. I try and eat seaweed every day. This staple of Asian diets is foreign to many of us but worth the adventure. (Dr Mark Hyman used this recipe in his Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook)
