Algae
The "blue-green super-protein" — phycocyanin pigment, 60% plant protein, and NASA-cohort evidence.

The "Japanese sushi wrapper" — porphyran, B12 content (vegan paradox), and a centuries-old fermented tradition.
The "Scottish dried fiber" — high iron, pan-fried "bacon-flavored" algal fillet, and wakame relative.
The "Japanese black weave" — high calcium, iron, and the serious arsenic warning.
The traditional "carrageen-gel" alga — Galway Bay gathering, Irish fluidity gel, and a lung-immune tradition.
