Seaweeds or macroalgae are a rich source of protein and contain all sources of essential amino acids at various concentrations. They act as a suitable alternative for vegan consumers and for those who are allergic to dairy whey protein and eggs. The protein content in some seaweed are similar to those of traditional protein sources such as egg, meat, milk, and soybean. The yield of protein is higher from seaweeds when compared to terrestrial crops, such as wheat, soybean, and pulse legumes.
