Seaweed is a favorite snack for many children and girls. People who like to eat seaweed should pay attention: the US Food and Drug Administration has issued a consumption reminder of ready-to-eat seaweed to remind the public that seaweed is very sensitive to light, temperature, humidity and oxygen. In the light or high temperature and high humidity environment, the quality will deteriorate, which will make the taste of seaweed worse.

Seaweed should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. If you don't eat it immediately after opening it, seaweed will become soft and lose its taste. When eating, eat as much as you want.

Porphyra is an edible food made from dried laver with or without food additives and other raw materials by baking. According to the different production and processing technologies, it can be divided into seasoning seaweed, baked seaweed and rock-burned seaweed. Because of the high iodine content in seaweed, people in iodine-deficient areas often eat seaweed, which can supplement iodine.

However, in areas where iodine is not deficient, eating a large amount of seaweed at one time or eating too much seaweed often will increase the possibility of excessive iodine intake. China Nutrition Society suggested that the recommended daily intake of iodine is 120 micrograms, and the maximum tolerable intake is 600 micrograms. 100 grams of laver contains 4323 micrograms of iodine, and the recommended daily amount is 2 to 3 grams.

In addition, there is desiccant in the packaging of seaweed products, so special attention should be paid. If the desiccant package is damaged, please do not eat seaweed in the same package. Desiccant should not be eaten, played or soaked in water; Do not open the desiccant bag to avoid burning skin or eyes. If you eat or get into your eyes by mistake, please rinse with plenty of water first and consult a doctor.
