LET'S TALK HEALTHY FOOD

Few years ago, while attending a course at the Academy of Healing
and Nutrition in Manhattan, I discovered the power of seeweeds!
This food was not in my kitchen yet, but it became a steady presence
in my pantry after then.
Seeweeds are full of trace minerals and vitamins and are very good
to eliminate toxins and radiations from our system.
Today I'm going to give you a recipe to use the seeweed called
HIJIKI, rich in dietary fiber and minerals like iron, magnesium
and calcium.
