Seaweed was once a common part of the European diet, new research shows.
Scientists say that seaweed was a staple food for people living in coastal areas of Europe during the Mesolithic period, which lasted from around 10,000 BC to 5,000 BC.
The study, published in the journal "PLoS One," analyzed the remains of food found at archaeological sites in Denmark, Germany, and Norway.
The researchers found that seaweed made up a significant part of the diet of people living in these areas during the Mesolithic period.
In fact, seaweed was the second most common food found at the sites, after fish.
The researchers say that seaweed was likely eaten because it was a nutritious and readily available food source.
Seaweed is high in vitamins and minerals, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber.
The study's findings suggest that seaweed could once again become a common part of the European diet.
