    About Seaweed

    Seaweeds are water algae that grow in 3 varieties. Green seaweeds are found in fresh water, while brown and red are found in salt water. All of them are rich in vitamins such as vitamin A, B1, B2 and C. Nori and Dulse are red seaweeds and Kelp and Wakame are brown seaweeds. All seaweeds have high amounts of essential fatty acids, magnesium, calcium, iron, iodine and antioxidants. They are antibacterial and antifungal in nature.

    Yup! I love it too, & I don't need to lose wt. I know there's a grocery that sells it, with sushi, (it's in a separate container). Expensive too, like 4.00 for a couple ounces or so.

    Well Ive seen they dont really carry it in walmart.. but I would guess if you live in a city with asian markets, they would carry it there. ..
    come to think of it.. maybe this would help explain why a lot of asian women have gorgeous skin even in middle age! good diet and seaweed
