Seaweed, Irish moss, raw

Irish moss is a type of seaweed, and the figures here describe it in its raw form. It consists mainly of water, with small amounts of protein and fat, and provides minerals and vitamins. Per 100g, it contains 8.9mg of iron, 72mg of calcium, 0.47mg of riboflavin and 0.2g of fat.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Iron from plant foods is generally absorbed less readily than iron from animal sources. Calcium supports bones and teeth, while riboflavin helps the body release energy from food. The supplied data record only trace amounts of sugars and saturated fat. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
