HEALTH

One of the top trending health foods that have taken over for foodies everywhere is seaweed. Seaweed rose to popularity when everyone started to go to the grocery store to buy nori seaweed sheets, which are pretty much flat sheets of roasted seaweed with a fishy taste. Seaweed has been deemed a superfood and according to BBC News,"the protein in seaweed could make up to between seven to 35% of the plant's dry weight"
