Seaweed has been used in many places for many uses for thousands of years. Seaweed is a type of algae. Algae came into existence about three and half billion years ago. Colonies of algae started to grow about 1 billion years ago. Europeans used Mediterranean seaweed as an herbal medicine. As early as 100 BC, the Greeks collected seaweed. All along the Mediterranean coast, red algae were used as sources of dying agents and as a medicine to treat parasitic worms since pre-Christian times.
Japanese have used seaweed for many years. For over 2000 years, seaweed has been used as a supportive food in the Japanese diet. Six types of seaweeds were used in 800 A.D. in everyday cooking in Japan. In 794, Japanese people used seaweed to make nori, which is a dried sheet of seaweed.
Hawaiians and other Polynesian societies grew kelp farms. They used 60-70 species of seaweed for food, medicinal purposes, and ceremonies.
One of the Earth's greatest treasures lies beneath the seas and lakes of the world. Research has proven that the waters of our oceans contain some of the richest known sources of mineral elements. The moving forces of nature, through rain, erosion and rivers, has brought all the valuable vitamins of the earth to the sea floor.
These vast sources of nutrition may become much more important than any of us now realize. Land degradation, pollution and over farming has had a drastic affect on the soil. Most commonly, it is from the soil that we derive our minerals and vitamins from the fruits and vegetables we eat. If this food grown on land can no longer give us all the nutrients we require to protect our bodies from sickness and disease, we must turn to the rich vegetation of the sea, seaweed.
Sea Vegetation, the keystone of the food chain, offers us the nutrients we can no longer gain from land grown crops. Try Sea Vegg Today
