Seaweed is the ultimate YIN food. Born below water and out of salt and mineral comes this dark, edible plant rich with nutrients. I always learned a little cheat sheet to recall the powers of seaweeds. Hijiki = Calcium. Nori = protein. Dulse = Iron. If you are looking to supplement your diet in one of these areas, these foods are a wonderful way to start. They nourish the water element with their natural saltiness & help build and enrich the blood due to their high mineral content. Use them in salads, soups, wraps, or fry them dry for crispy sea-chips. They all have unique flavors and textures and can be a fun way to experiment in the kitchen. One of nature’s true super-foods. 💙
