RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF SEA GRAPES
Sea grapes are highly nutritious, but moderation is key to avoid nutrient overload, especially iodine. Below are detailed guidelines:
1. FOR ADULTS
- Fresh sea grapes: Maximum 10–20g/day (about 1–2 tablespoons).
- Dried/dehydrated form: 5–10g/day (as it’s concentrated).
- Frequency: 3–4 times/week; avoid daily consumption.
2. FOR CHILDREN
- Ages 1–3: 1–2 teaspoons of fresh sea grapes/day, 2–3 times/week.
- Ages 4+: 3–5 teaspoons/day, up to 3 times/week.
- Note: Introduce small amounts first and monitor the child’s reaction.
3. SPECIAL CASES
- Thyroid patients, seafood allergies, or iodine sensitivity: Consult a doctor before consumption.
- Pregnant/breastfeeding women: Limit to 1–2 times/week (same portion as adults).
4. HOW TO USE SEA GRAPES EFFECTIVELY
- Mix into salads with sesame sauce or yogurt.
- Add to soups, porridge, or rice rolls.
- Avoid pairing with spicy foods or excessive seasoning.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Sea grapes are extremely high in iodine (20–30 times more than regular vegetables). Overconsumption may cause thyroid dysfunction, stomachache, or diarrhea.
- Prioritize clean, traceable sea grapes to avoid heavy metal contamination.
- Balance your diet and enjoy the benefits of sea grapes wisely!
