It is rich in fiber and helps prevent colon cancer and indigestion.High nutritional content improves hormonal, lymphatic, and nervous system. Increase the body's defense function, improve heart and blood circulaton, and digestive system
The seaweed is very Japanese, but the recipe is not. My father, in his teenage days (like 70 years ago) used to follow a group of fishermen to sea at one of the “Trengganu” coastal waters, Malaysia. These fishermen will always bring back some seaweed as vegetable from the sea. It is fresh, chewy, delicious and nutritious

Also provides relief from respiratory problems, fever, constipation, etc a ripe mango contains about 15% sugar, up to 1% protein, and significant amounts of vitamins A, B and C
