My Seaweed Salad Espesyal is the best for me as it has an amazing properties. Sea vegetables are virtually fat-free, low calorie and one of the richest source in minerals in the vegetable kingdom. They are high in essential amino acids, which make them the valuable source of vegetable protien in a vegetarian diet.
