Kelp is a type of sea weed or i should say "Sea vegetable" rich in iodine content. This vegetable is shown to contain between 100 and 500 times the iodine in shellfish and has about 4 times the iron in beef. Hope this helps.
The amount of iodine found in most natural foods is typically quite small and varies depending on environmental factors such as the soil concentration of iodine and the use of fertilizers. Some of the richest food sources of iodine are often processed foods that contain iodized salt, and breads that contain iodate dough conditioners.
Sea vegetables are an excellent source of iodine. Yogurt, cow's milk, eggs, and strawberries are very good sources of idone. Good sources include mozzarella cheese.
Very true, sea fish, sea foods and vegetables are rich in iodine. However, nowdays, fortified food rich in iodine are available in the market. It is fortified in whole breads, milk, cheese etc.
