Did you know? “Hijiki (ヒジキ, 鹿尾菜 or 羊栖菜, hijiki) is a brown sea vegetable growing wild on rocky coastlines around Japan, Korea, and China. Hijiki has been a part of the Japanese diet for centuries. It is rich in dietary fiber and essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.”
“Animal protection isn’t a radical idea. It follows the simple principle that if animals feel pain, joy and fear, they should be protected from suffering.” -Anonymous
