What are the benefits of eating seaweed, like the dried stuff in Asian food stores?

Answer 1

High in protein, but basically the dried stuff like Nori is used to wrap sushi maki. It's a way of adding texture and flavor and protein while remaining vegetarian and natural.

And no, you wouldn't normally just eat it straight.

Answer 2

1 cup: 43.5 calories; 1.16g fat; 0 cholesterol; 8.62 gram protein (good); vitamin A, vitamin C; calcium and iron (good). In other words, very few calories and lots of vitamins and minerals.

Answer 3

If you eat it, I dont have to look at it.
