Seaweed is being heralded as the next big superfood, and it’s one that Australia can produce cheaply and efficiently.

 

University of Sunshine Coast researchers say that seaweed has major health benefits, containing lots of important minerals and improving gut flora.

 

It is also incredibly environmentally friendly to produce, as it strips algae blooms from water as it grows, and researchers are hoping to drive the creation of a new seaweed industry in Australia.
