Seaweed Soup: Why Japanese women don’t get fat.
At last! I have discovered the secret to why Japanese women don’t get fat! It’s all in the soup or more importantly the seaweed. Seaweed soup is so simple to make, low in fat and yet so tasty! The seaweed and rice wine combination really is a hit! It’s not as salty as miso soup either. And it is also very warming, so it is perfect to have now during these cold winter times.
Seaweed contains many minerals including sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine, sulphur, phosphorous, iodine, iron, zinc, copper, selenium, molybdenum, fluoride, manganese, boron, nickel and cobalt. What a list! However it is more commonly known for being a good source of iodine as well as being one of the richest plant sources of calcium. It also contains Vitamin B12, which is not found in most land plants.
However, the most amazing thing about this Seaweed soup is that it has a preparation time of 1 minute. You heard me! ONE minute! (Maybe two if you have to get the egg out of the fridge). You’re probably shaking your head in disbelief thinking, “No! It can’t be!” Well I am telling you now it is true! So the next time you’re rushing madly about the house thinking,“Oh no! I have to leave in 5 minutes but I haven’t eaten anything yet!” You know what you can make! Seaweed soup!
If only everything in life could be so simple!
