"Exploring the Surge in Seaweed: Health Benefits and Market Growth Potential"

Seaweed, often overlooked in Western diets, is gaining attention as a sustainable superfood packed with protein, fiber, and polyphenols, which may reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Alginate, a seaweed extract, is used in food processing and may help control weight by inhibiting fat digestion. While there are health benefits, concerns about arsenic and iodine content vary by species and growing conditions. Eating 5g to 10g of seaweed daily could offer nutritional advantages, but more research is needed to understand its effects on the general population and how processing affects nutrient absorption. Despite its potential, taste preferences and knowledge about seaweed vary, and its incorporation into Western diets may require further promotion and education.
