Sea vegetables are gaining a whole new respect from scientists, nutritionists, and health advocates as a powerfully effective overall, whole food body tonic. Rich in minerals, vitamins, trace elements and bioactive substances, edible sea vegetables are now considered to be one of the healthiest vegetable substances known to man. Overlooked in the western diet, the vegetable of the sea is now becoming known as man’s strongest and richest ally because of its unparalleled nutritional density, which is drawn from the power of the sun and the sea.
