Seaweed is one of a major source of nutrition which is largely untapped while having a 1,076-km coastline with us. Most of the seaweeds found are edible and some of them contain proteins which are essential for human consumption. Besides, a 100gm of seaweed provides more vitamin C than an orange. It is also a rich source of iron, iodine, calcium and magnesium. It is not yet a popular food in India but has gained a lot of popularity abroad.
