Among foods, it has the highest iodine content. Kelp can be used as a treasure house for human calcium and iron intake. The protein and carbohydrates contained in kelp are unmatched by most vegetables, which is several to dozens of times that of spinach. The content of important vitamins such as carotene, riboflavin, thiamine and niacin is also high. Kelp contains almost no fat and contains a large amount of cellulose, alginate and a variety of trace elements.

Basic nutrients

Kelp is rich in carbohydrates, less protein and fat. Every 100 grams of dried kelp contains 8.2 grams of protein, 0.1 grams of fat, 56.2 grams of carbohydrates, which can provide about 258 kcal of heat energy for the human body and is a heat energy food.

Dietary fiber

Every 100 grams of dried kelp contains 9.8 grams of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber has a unique nutritional function in the human body.

Kelp is a kind of seaweed with high iodine content. Cultivated kelp generally contains 3% to 5% iodine, and some can reach 7% to 10%. Kelp is the only iodine source in my country, and my country's industrial and medical iodine mainly relies on kelp iodine production.

Vitamins

Kelp is rich in vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, VB1, VB2, VB5, VB6, VB12, vitamin E, vitamin K, etc. If the drying process is done properly, the high vitamin content of kelp can be guaranteed not to be destroyed.
