I have officially decided that I am going to either live or die off of eating ‘Roasted Seaweed’.
The funny thing is that I always use to see the ‘Roasted Seaweed Snack‘ in Trader Joes, and never even thought about picking it up, until I tried it at my friends house, one late afternoon, and really ever since then, I have been ADDICTED to it.
Aside from this snack being loaded with a ton of salt, many wouldn’t even realize that it actually has a TON of overall health benefits.
I’ll even admit that it is salty, and good to take in small amounts, but it’s usually too good to even resist putting down.
Health Benefits Of Roasted Seaweed:
Vitamin B-6
A 1/3-cup serving of roasted seaweed provides you with 39 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B-6 if you follow a 2,000 calorie diet. This vitamin, also known as pyroxidine, influences brain function, helping manufacture neurotransmitters and hormones.
Fiber
Include a serving of roasted seaweed in your diet, and you take in 3 g of fiber. The fiber in this food may help lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease, but it also influences bowel health; getting adequate amounts of fiber prevents diverticulitis, hemorrhoids and constipation.
Iodine
Roasted seaweed is a good source of iodine, with one serving containing 65 percent of the amount you should consume each day. Your thyroid relies on iodine to function correctly; without enough in your meal plan, you may develop an enlarged thyroid or other thyroid problems.
Vitamin B-12
Eat roasted seaweed to get more vitamin B-12 in your diet. A 1/3-cup portion of this sea vegetable contains 21 percent of the amount of the vitamin B-12, also called cobalamin, which you require each day.
