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 and are also called marine algae or macroalgae. They occur in all 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. There are even seaweed species that can grow as long as 60 meters! Seaweeds are extremely strong and tolerate both solar radiation and exposure to air and the violent wave movements of water. They are the most resilient and prolific plant species on earth, coming in a variety of shapes, sizes and structures and packed with nutrients. In fact, they are the plants on Earth that contain the most minerals, as they absorb minerals directly from the ocean and can store them in their cellular structure. In this regard, seaweeds alone because they grow in the sea have unique properties compared to land plants. Among other things, seaweeds are 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. Not surprisingly, 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, and 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 therapeutic remedy by Emperor Shen Nung as early as 5,000 years ago, and archaeological evidence from Chile even shows that seaweed was used by humans as early as 12,000 years before Christ. Most researchers further agree that seaweed was essential for the development of our brain and nervous system, since our ancestors could actually only find the fatty acids needed for this on the coast, where they had 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. After all, it 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.
