Key facts about seaweed, did you know...
- Most of the world’s oxygen (about 70%) comes from seaweeds and other microscopic algae.
- Seaweeds support primary production levels that are 6-10 times greater than the most intensive land-based agricultural systems.
- There are 9 times more seaweeds in the oceans than there are plants on the land.
- There are over 12,000 species of seaweeds, all with different sizes and colours.
- Seaweeds are used in human foods, medicine, and cosmetics, as well as in animal feeds and are excellent fertilizer because they soak up micronutrients and antioxidants from clean water. Seaweed is thought to have first come about approximately three and half billion years ago. We humans have realised seaweed benefits many thousands of years ago, as archaeological records show. In Japan, the past 2,000 years have seen many seaweed uses, and it is clear from the literature that the Japanese were aware of the many benefits all that time ago.
This is why this sea vegetable is used in so many different markets and is considered a superfood for both Humans Animal, and Plants
