Sea kale and its benefits
Sea kale is a small shrub of brown kelp algae that grows well in very salty water at a depth of 4-10 meters off the coast of seas and oceans. Several types of kelp are of commercial importance: saccharina, digitalata, and japonica. The absolute leader in kelp production is Japan. Sea kale is supplied to retail trade in dried or frozen form, as well as canned food. The taste of real kelp is both salty and bitter. Iodine gives the seaweed its bitterness, and seawater gives it its salty taste.
Sea kale today occupies one of the main places in the ranking of healthy products. And it’s very popular with those who are serious about keeping their bodies in top condition, including celebrities and athletes. Historically, sea kale was used by the Greeks and has been widely cultivated since the 16th century. And nutritionists have already unanimously recognized the undoubted benefits of seaweed for humans. Their recommendation is 300 grams of product per week. This amount is enough to saturate the body with iodine, which kelp is especially rich in.
