Ten sheets of nori contain 9 calories, 1.3 grams of carbohydrates, 1.5 grams of proteins, 0.1 grams of sugar, and 0.1 grams of fiber.8‘Nori Recipe & Nutrition | Precision Nutrition’s Encyclopedia of Food.’Precision Nutrition, 4 July 2019, www.precisionnutrition.com/encyclopedia/food/nori.
Other nutritionally beneficial seaweed include wakame and kelp. These seaweeds are rich in iodine, which helps to promote the natural processes of detoxification in the liver.9‘Minerals from Macroalgae Origin: Health Benefits and Risks for Consumers.’ PubMed Central (PMC), www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6266857/. The potent nutrients in seaweed may also help to detox your kidneys and support thyroid health.
