About Laver
Laver is an edible seaweed commonly found along coastal regions and is a staple in various cuisines, particularly Welsh, Japanese, and Korean. Rich in nutrients, laver offers a good source of iodine, vitamin B12, iron, and antioxidants, making it beneficial for thyroid health, red blood cell production, and immune support. This seaweed is low in calories and contains dietary fiber that supports digestion. Additionally, its unique umami flavor lends itself to diverse culinary uses, such as laverbread in Wales or sushi wraps in Japan. However, it is also naturally high in sodium, so individuals monitoring salt intake should consume it in moderation. Laver is prized not only for its rich nutritional profile but also for its sustainable cultivation, making it a healthy and environmentally friendly addition to a balanced diet.
