I remember clearly the first time i tried whole leaf laver seaweed. I was at the Portland Raw Food Festival, and had stopped by a booth selling Main Coast Sea Vegetables. I picked up a bag of Laver and tried some, i pretty much finished the entire bag right then and there. Something about this sea weed felt like just what i needed, and my body was craving more and more. Looking back it was obvious my body was calling out for minerals. Well, i have never turned back from that moment, and now i use sea veggies as an absolute staple in my diet and am all the better and healthier for it! I’ve also tried just about every kind i can get my hands on because i love them that much.
 

As you can see, sea vegetables are such a well rounded source of some incredible nutrients, supporting our bodies in all kinds of ways. Our bodies have a great affinity with the ocean. In fact our own blood is very similar in elemental composition to that of pure ocean water. It makes sense that we would be greatly nourished by the plants growing in the sea. Adding sea vegetables to the diet can also be very grounding and help to connect us with this watery planet Earth. Sometimes i forget our home Earth is mainly ocean!

Here are a few sea vegetables that are readily stocked on the shelves here at RawGuru.com . Of course all are raw, sustainably harvested, and free of pollutants and contaminants:
