The nutritional benefits<\/strong><\/p>\nThere\u2019s no denying that seaweed is something of a nutritional powerhouse. In fact, it is much more nutrient dense than just about any land vegetable and is rich in vitamins, minerals and protein, as well as being low in calories, high in soluble fibre and a great source of antioxidants.<\/p>\n
Did you also know that seaweed is also a great source of iodine, a nutrient that is missing in almost every other food! Iodine helps regulate hormone levels and thyroid function, as well as supporting a healthy metabolism and maintaining energy levels. Many vegans and pregnant women need more iodine, as do those who have replaced milk with plant-based alternatives such as almond or soya, as cow milk is naturally high in iodine.<\/p>\n
What does our Nutritionist think?<\/strong><\/p>\nNutritionist Fiona Lawson comments, \u201cStudies suggest that humans have enjoyed seaweed for over 8,000 years. The ancient Chinese considered the sea vegetable a delicacy to be given to guests of honour, while the Welsh made the most of its unique flavour in laver bread. Today, seaweed remains a staple of the traditional Japanese diet, which is considered one of the healthiest diets in the world. It\u2019s rapidly gaining popularity in the West too- and for good reason.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs well as providing a host of vitamins, seaweed also offers the broadest range of minerals found in any food. Examples include calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. It is also a rich source of iodine, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sustainable Scottish Seaweed<\/strong><\/p>\nMost of us will have only eaten imported seaweed, usually from Japan or Korea, which clocks up thousands of air miles before even hitting supermarket shelves. You can be safe in the knowledge that SH\u00d8RE\u2019s seaweed is homegrown, sustainable and 100% Scottish.<\/p>\n
Based in the town of Wick, perched on the rugged windswept coast on the far North Eastern tip of Scotland, the SH\u00d8RE team ventures out in all weather to hand- harvest the seaweed in crystal clear, unpolluted waters. The team collect all plants by hand, taking only what they need for the puffs and leaving more than enough for the seaweed to fully regenerate, making the process completely sustainable.<\/p>\n
