How Seaweed Salad Benefits you!

So how exactly does eating seaweed salad benefit your health?
Well, first, the main ingredient -- seaweed -- has been proven to help you lose weight. It does this by reducing fat accumulation.


Another ingredient -- garlic -- has long been used in traditional medicines to cure and prevent illness. Modern Western science research on garlic shows that it primarly helps with illnesses by regularting your immune system. An article publishied in the Journal of the National Medical Association explains that garlic boosts your immune system by helping your body eliminate dangerous free radicals and heavy-metal intoxication.


Ginger, another seaweed salad staple, has also been used in traditional remedies. The University of Maryland Medical Center found that ginger is used to relieve mild upset stomach and is given to patients who are nauseated or vomiting.

Last but not least, an unexpected ingredient in seaweed salad -- apple -- contains high concentrations of healthy chemicals called phytochemicals. They may decrease the risks of developing chronic diseases such as cancer, heart diseases, and diabetes, according to a review paper published by The Department of Food Science at Cornell University. The phytochemicals have been found to act as strong antioxidants -- removing dangerous free radicals from your body -- and as cancer cell inhibitors -- stopping the growth of cancer cells.

So now that you know seaweed salad not only tastes good, but it burns fat, boosts your immune system, aids in digestion, and reduces your risk of chronic diseases, won't you try some of our delicious, all natural seaweed salad?

Our Seaweed Salad: Production & Sanitation

With the HACCP Plan, we only provide our clients with valuable seaweed salad we can serve to our family!

Our reliable process for eliminating and removing chemical and physical hazards from our seaweed salad.

The HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points) is a systematic preventive approach to food safety and pharmaceutical safety that addresses physical, chemical, and biological hazards as a means of prevention rather than finished product inspection. This system is used at all stages of food production and preparation processes, including packaging, distribution, etc. Unlike the traditional "produce and test" quality control methods which are less successful and inappropriate for highly perishable foods, HACCP has been recognized internationally as a logical tool for adapting traditional inspection methods to a modern, science-based, food safety system.
