Sea Egg Sauce Introduction
"Umami Seaweed Sauce" is a product made from seaweed that has been successfully cultivated by the producer. It is highly nutritious, earning it the reputation of "egg" (as eggs in Japanese are referred to as tamago due to their high protein content). Seaweed is a typical large brown alga that grows in the ocean. Algae can live in water or moist environments, some being unicellular and others multicellular. Kelp is a multicellular brown alga primarily found in marine environments, and besides containing chlorophyll, it is also rich in fucoxanthin. According to related literature, the nutritional components of kelp include protein, fat, ash, carbohydrates, iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, arsenic, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, and other trace elements, making it a great aid for smooth metabolism. Kelp is high in fiber and mineral elements, which can help with weight loss, lower cholesterol, prevent the absorption of toxic substances, and reduce the risk of constipation, colon cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and maintain blood sugar balance among chronic illnesses. The main function of kelp mineral products is to supplement the trace metal elements needed by the human body. The Compendium of Materia Medica states that kelp has functions such as softening hardness, promoting diuresis, and anti-inflammatory properties; and is used for treating edema, lumps, phlegm, and goiter. The kelp sauce has also been certified by the Food Industry Research and Development Institute, ensuring it is safe for consumption. It has an excellent flavor and can be mixed with noodles and rice, spread on toast, or used as a seasoning for dishes.
