Information
Seaweed is also known as kelp, one of the classic alkaline foods that contains an abundant amount of protein, iodine, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins B1, B2, C, and A. It helps in maintaining blood pH level, and is also beneficial to those with an enlarged thyroid gland; high blood pressure; or coronary heart disease.
