Seaweed

Seaweed is a type of marine algae that grows in the ocean and along coastlines. It is a highly nutritious plant, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and does not contain fats or cholesterol. Used for culinary purposes, especially in dishes like sushi and soups, seaweed also has agricultural, cosmetic, and industrial applications. It plays a vital role in marine ecosystems by providing habitat, absorbing excess nutrients, and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. As a sustainable resource, seaweed cultivation has potential benefits for climate change mitigation and environmental health.
