Answer 3

I love seaweed.

Protein content in seaweed varies somewhat. It is low in brown algae at 5-11% of dry matter, but comparable in quantitative terms to legumes at 30-40% of dry matter in some species of red algae. Green algae, which are still not harvested much, also have a significant protein content, i.e., up to 20% of dry matter. Spirulina, a micro-alga, is well known for its very high content, i.e., 70% of dry matter.

This food is low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Vitamin K, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Riboflavin, Folate, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Copper and Manganese.

The bad: This food is very high in Sodium.

Answer 4

It isn't really a good substitute for meat, but if you put it in some tofu-veggie stir fry them it would be a good substitute for meat.

Answer 5

Well its a good source of omega 3 fatty acids.. People think that eating fish is healthy because fish contains high amount of omega 3, but what they actually dont know is that the fish gets the omega 3 from the plants that it eats. And when you eat algae and seaweed, you dont get the toxic mercury that fish contains. Its very healthy. I wouldnt say its a good substitute for meat though. Beans, nuts, soy, and leafy green vegetables are perfect to eat instead of meat. They all contain more than enough protein and vitamins!
