Seaweed is far from merely a sushi wrapper —
wakame is a tasty, deep - sea treat that adds many
much - needed minerals to the plate including magnesium, iodine, calcium, and iron, not to mention vitamins A, C, E, K, D, and B2.
Iodine: sea veggies (think kelp, dulse, nori,
wakame), shellfish, salmon and sardines (note: if you have an autoimmune thyroid condition, please be aware that too
much iodine may aggravate the issue, so please go steady)
