      Kelp is rich in nutrients, especially iodine, and has good medicinal value. It is a good green food.

      Most of the kelp sold on the market now is dry, and it needs to be washed and soaked to develop after purchase. However, many people like to soak kelp for a long time after buying it, thinking that this can fully absorb water. In fact, this approach is wrong. Because after soaking for a long time, the nutrients in the kelp will be lost and a large amount of salt will be lost. Such kelp will have no taste and its nutritional value will be reduced.

      Kind tips

      The correct way to process kelp is to soak it as you eat it. There is no need to soak it for a long time, usually about 15 minutes.

      The kelp on the market has often been soaked for several days and has low nutritional value and is not hygienic.
