Marine algae are one of the most important and digestible sources of minerals: iodine, magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, and zinc. They are also very rich in enzymes, fiber, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and vitamins B (including an excellent source of B12), C, E, and K.
They have exceptional anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. They balance the functions of the endocrine glands (thyroid, pituitary, pancreas), rejuvenate the body, and are vitalizing. They also help alkalize the blood!
Marine algae remove toxic metals; the alginic acid they contain binds with these metals and helps eliminate them.
They are included in weight control programs by improving metabolism, inducing a feeling of fullness, and having a low caloric content.
Being a superconcentrated source of vitamins and minerals, they are leading foods for chronic fatigue syndrome!
They are sold dehydrated; rinse them well, soak for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse again. They can be added to various dishes: cereals, soups, stews, fish, salads, and patties, enhancing their flavor.
CasaBio Recommendation: When cooking chickpeas, beans, or lentils, add marine algae; they absorb gases and improve digestion.
