Sea Lettuce is a type of green algae known scientifically as Ulva lactuca. It typically grows in shallow coastal waters and can be found attached to rocks or floating freely. Sea Lettuce has a bright green color and a leafy, thin texture, resembling the leaves of lettuce, which is how it got its name. This algae is rich in nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. Sea Lettuce is often used in culinary dishes, particularly in Asian cuisine, where it can be eaten fresh in salads or cooked in soups and stir-fries.
