Health Risk

High in sodium. A ½-cup portion of raw wakame contains approximately 900 mg of sodium; an equivalent amount of dried spirulina yields more than 1,100 mg. (A recommended daily sodium intake for a healthy person should not exceed 2,300 mg.) The same amounts of kelp and nori are lower in sodium, containing 250 mg and 60 mg, respectively. Anyone on a low-salt diet should avoid foods containing seaweed.

Eating Tips

• Stir crumbled nori into tuna salad.

• Add arame or dulse seaweed to miso soup.

• Stir-fry soaked dried hijiki seaweed with kale, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
