Many algae, including coral grass, are rich in minerals and have many health benefits.

Coral grass contains collagen to strengthen bones and muscles and improve hair loss

The most abundant protein in coral grass is collagen, which is a kind of "adhesive" that connects cells and supports various tissues in the body. It can replenish the cartilage between joints. Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that consuming a moderate amount of coral grass can strengthen muscles, bones and ligaments, and improve joint pain, back pain and other problems. In addition, collagen also helps improve hair aging problems such as gray hair, hair loss, and thinning hair.

Brown algae polysaccharide lowers blood pressure and marine enzymes clear stool

Coral grass, which tastes a bit slimy, contains an ingredient called brown algae polysaccharide, which has the effects of lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, anti-allergic, and blood cleansing. In addition, Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that coral grass is also rich in marine enzymes, which can remove old stool tightly attached to the intestinal wall, promote gastrointestinal motility, and thus improve constipation and prevent hemorrhoids.

Coral grass helps detoxify, replenishes iron and blood, and does not cause fatigue

Coral grass from the sea contains a variety of minerals needed by the human body. It can promote the activity of antioxidant enzymes, enhance the detoxification function of the liver, and help excrete heavy metal toxins from the body, thereby achieving a detoxification effect. The iron in coral grass can prevent anemia, fatigue and forgetfulness. Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that taking a proper amount of coral grass can increase and purify the blood, and the body constitution will change from acidic to weakly alkaline, helping to improve metabolism and making the body less prone to fatigue.

Many seaweed foods, including coral grass, are mostly cold in nature, and people who are prone to menstrual pain and poor stomach should eat them in moderation.

Coral grass is a cold herb that causes menstrual pain and diarrhea. People should avoid eating it.

Although coral grass has many benefits, Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan also reminds us that coral grass, which is cold in nature, is not suitable for daily consumption. It can be eaten with red dates and longans. People with a hot constitution can take a moderate amount of coral grass, but women who are prone to menstrual pain should not eat too much during their menstrual period. In addition, people who are prone to diarrhea or have poor stomachs should not eat too much.

When purchasing coral grass, it is recommended to choose dried products without artificial additives. Since coral grass is a seaweed, it is normal for it to have a slight fishy smell. Coral grass soaked in water may also have a fishy smell, which can be improved by adding a few drops of lemon juice to the water.

Coral grass can also be used as a snack. Make your own juice jelly

If you want to get the nutritional value of coral grass, besides simply mixing it with cold dishes, you can also make it into juice and jelly and eat it as a snack. Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan recommends cutting coral grass into small pieces, mixing it with your favorite fruits and vegetables, putting it into a juicer, and adding cold boiled water until it covers the ingredients to make sweet and sour "coral grass juice." Suitable fruits and vegetables include tomatoes, apples, cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple, banana, pear, red algae, green algae, etc.

Alternatively, people can also cut the red dates into pieces, add water to boil into soup and filter the residue, then add sugar water and soaked and cut coral grass, cook for 15 to 20 minutes, and put it in the refrigerator after cooling. This will make the chewy and delicious "Red Dates and Coral Grass Jelly".
