The main difference between sea mustard and kelp is that the morphological characteristics are different, habitat distribution is different, different food value, as follows:

One, the morphological characteristics are different

1, sea mustard

Under the kelp, also known as sea mustard, the edge of the leaf is pinnately lobes, the leaf blade is thinner than the kelp, the shape is like a banana leaf fan, also like kelp, so it is named. The leaf blade is thinner than the kelp, the shape is like a banana leaf fan, also like the kelp, so it takes its name.

2, kelp

Spore body large, brown, flat ribbon. Sub-leaf blade, stalk and fixation, fixation is pseudorhizome. Leaf blade for the epidermis, cortex and medulla tissues, the lower part of the leaf blade has sporocysts. It has a mucus cavity and can secrete slippery substances.

Two, the habitat distribution is different

1, sea mustard

Growing in the low tide line below the depth of 1 ~ 4 meters on the rocks. Distributed in Shandong, Fujian Zhejiang, Liaoning and other coastal areas.

2, kelp

Born on rocks at a depth of 2m below the low-tide line on the seashore, artificially cultured grows on ropes or bamboo.? Most of the kelp is distributed in the northern hemisphere, while the southern hemisphere also has a small amount of distribution.

Three, different food value

1, sea mustard

Wakame is a natural treasure trove of trace elements and minerals, containing more than a dozen kinds of essential amino acids, calcium, iodine, zinc, selenium, folic acid and vitamins A, B, C and other minerals. Wakame contains calcium is the "king of calcium" milk 10 times, zinc content is "zinc can" beef 3 times.

2, kelp

Kelp protein amino acids in a complete range, the proportion is appropriate, especially the body's eight essential amino acids, the content is very close to the ideal protein essential amino acid content pattern. In addition to being used as a dish, kelp can also be processed into a variety of unique flavors of food.
