Kelp For Dinner Home Care Path LLC

Kelp is a term that applies to many kinds of sea weed. Kelp comes from the sea, as a staple food, and is eaten in many parts of the world. Kelp is known by nutritionists for providing trace minerals. Recall that soil erodes washes to the sea filled with minerals. People can get calcium from milk, iron from meat and eggs, and phosphorus from seeds. Kelp (seaweed) was first dried and powdered for use as a trace mineral supplement added to meals. In parts of Japan kelp makes up a large part of the daily diet. Kelp is used for foods just like we prepare salad greens. The goiter is beleived to be unknown to communities that consume kelp with meals. Nutritionists seem certain the iodine content of the kelp is responsible for the absence of the goiter. One way to prepare kelp is to flatten it into a paper thin sheet. There is one dietary warning about kelp. If you are on a salt free diet, kelp contains a considerable amount of sodium (salt) the substance you are trying to avoid. Because kelp contains so many more minerals the sodium (salt) content is only about one tenth that of table salt.
