Seaweed, is a rich source of calcium, zinc and idoine. It is also a good source of Lignans which help fight cancer.
Because it comes from the sea, seaweed contains sodium and anyone on a sodium-restricted diet should be careful with the amounts they eat. Wakame has the highest sodium content, with kelp and laver having significantly less.
They are no fat and contain many trace minerals. I'm sure you can find nutritional info on them.

Seaweed is very good for you, it has lots of nutrients, I don't remember which ones and also iodine which is really good for you (not the bottled medical stuff). You can eat it raw in salad or pickled. The dried suff doesn't have as many nutrients though so if you want it for nutrition have it the other way.
Don't get the stuff from a local ocean though, most of that is full of toxins. You can buy it at some stores.

Yes, it has lots of vitamins and it is like a vegetable. It's what Japanese people eat and it's good for you.

It is rich in iron but high in sodium.

actually seaweed is high in iodide which is beneficial...but since you can get that in a vitamin pill I choose to eat at jack in the box :)
