Super Sea Vegetables!

Seaweed is an incredibly powerful food. It contains more minerals than any other food source. They can contain up to 10x more calcium than milk and 8x as much iron as beef. It can be used to flavor all sorts of dishes, such as soups. You should try to incorporate sea veggies into your diet a few times per week. The different types are:
Arame
A brown stringy seaweed. Works well with cooked root vegetables.
Dulse
Red-purple in color. Has a mild taste so it works well in salads.
Nori
Nori is from Japan and best known for wrapping sushi. Very good added to soups or use it to make raw nori rolls!
Wakame
Has a sweet flavor and can be used on sandwiches instead of lettuce.
Hijiki
Black and firm seaweed that is very nutritionally rich, but quite strong tasting.
Kelp
Kelp is sometimes used as a seasoning. Can be taken in powder or tablet form from the health food store.
Kombu
Used for centuries as a flavor enhancer and a food tenderizer.

My favorite seaweed supplement is Modifilan. www.modifilan.com. I have been taking this for 9 months and find that when I go off of it I notice that I just don't feel as good.

Today I ate:
8:30 Grapefruit/Orange juiced
10:00 Water with MSM
12:00 Raw crackers
2;00 Juiced Kale and Apples
5:00 Juiced Tomato, celery, garlic, and chard
7:00 A couple of Superfood Snack Goji treats (these things are AWESOME!!!)
Go to www.superfoodsnacks.com. I am for sure going to have these in my store!
