Nutritional information
In addition to its different uses, it presents nutrients such as protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, highlighting iron, iodine, calcium, potassium.
Seaweed is a good source of iodine, a essential mineral for the functioning of the thyroid and other glands. While its deficiency can lead to diseases such as hypothyroidism, its excess can also be counterproductive. And since algae are a good source, its consumption must be controlled so as not to exceed the upper limits. In people with hyperthyroidism its use is discouraged and, due to the large amount of sodium it has, it is not recommended to people with hypertension or fluid retention.
Due to its high iodine content, consumption should be sporadic or weekly to test tolerance, and, if you want to consume daily, you should regulate the amount.
