Why Sea Veggies......
Good news for the lactose intolerant: sushi, not milk, may be your best source of calcium … among other nutrients.
“Sea vegetables and seaweed are higher in vitamins and minerals than all other vegetables,” according to Julie Lerner, founder of WholeBody Nutrition. Her tips for getting more “super veggies” in your diet:
Veggies of the sea: Start with a seaweed salad, followed by rolls wrapped in Nori (green wrapping paper). Both are loaded with minerals and trace elements that are no longer found in land vegetables due to soil depletion (think magnesium, iron, potassium, and chromium).
The right rolls: Go for the healing ingredients found in Hamachi rolls (yellowtail) and dragon rolls (eel, shrimp, flying fish roe)—they have antibiotic properties, counteract obesity, and strengthen bones while aiding digestion.
Sea sides: Add small amounts of bite sized pieces of the greens to your favorite soups and salads. Use Dulse flakes in place of regular table salt, or try some smoked Dulse—it’s like beef jerky, seaweed style!
