Sometimes I crave for the strangest things. The other day I woke with a seaweed craving. I do not have seaweed as often as I should. Not often enough to have cravings for it anyway. Seaweed is a fantastic source of vegan protein. However, most people don't eat enough seaweed in my opinion. But why? One cup of seaweed contains almost as much protein as a cup of lentils, and one gram of seaweed takes care of your iodine needs for the day. Not to mention all the B12 you can get. Heaven for vegans! Seaweed is also rich in a special kind of fiber. Seaweed's fibers turns into a gel in your stomach, keeping you feeling full longer. What's not to love? Here is a seaweed salad I quickly put together. This salad is very popular in coastal Asia.
