Children

Many children tend towards a limited range of foods with staples like pizza, baked beans and french fries.

A sprinkle of Seagreens® turns these into highly nutritious "whole" foods.

Adding a teaspoon of Culinary Ingredient to a can of baked beans not only provides virtually every nutrient; it aids nutrient absorption and digestion, with less flatulence!

This is why quality manufacturers add Seagreens® to their foods, for example Artisan Bread biodynamic bread range, Fiddles Payne salt mixtures, Neal's Yard Remedies, Whole Earth's Organic Baked Beans, and others.

Nutritional Profile/Ingredients - Seagreens® Culinary Ingredient

Such a comprehensive balance of nutrients is found in no other natural food but seaweed. From the primordial ocean to the vegetation and animals which remain our food today, our own bodily composition has its origins in the earliest organisms and the chemistry of life itself.

As life forms became increasingly diverse they adapted to more specific diets. To survive on a narrower range of nutrients and protect themselves against toxicity, each evolved different mechanisms of selectivity and defence. That is why we need a wide variety of land based foods, since each has a little of what we need. But nutrient loss in agricultural soils and manufactured and denatured food makes nutritional balance, especially of all the micronutrients, harder to achieve.

Almost as old as the ocean, seaweed is an outstanding whole food which complements and fills the gaps in all land food and special diets.

Iodine levels in Seagreens® nutrition products

Uptake of iodine in the body has been shown to be approximately 1/3rd of intake. Figures are average iodine levels in micrograms over two decades harvesting Seagreens®. Iodine levels fluctuate according to natural variances in species and individual uptake.

Note: 1g (gram) = 1000mg (milligram) = 1,000,000µg (microgram)
