There are different types of edible seaweed, all with different health benefits. Time lists three types which we'd recognize: brown algae, which, when processed, results in kombu, which the Japanese use to make dashi; Green algae or sea lettuce; and red algae, which we most often encounter as sushi wraps. There are even seaweeds that can taste like bacon when they've been cooked up.
If you're planning to go Jamie Oliver's route and plan to use seaweed as a way to a health boost to your meal, know that seaweed is rich in iodine, may help sugar levels, can support immune functions, and can support both your heart and your gut (via BBC). As U.S.-based dietitian Miho Hatanaka puts it, "Even with a smaller amount of seaweed, you can get a lot more nutrients out of it than ground vegetables."
But as with all things, processed seaweed, which is showing up as snacks, can also be high in additives that include sodium and other additives. Rising levels of ocean pollution also means seaweeds are picking up contaminants that can be found in dirty water, including arsenic, lead, silicon, and lead. So as with everything, it's best to consume seaweed in moderation.
