The Benefits of Sea Cucumber. Sea cucumbers are not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but can also be a great food source. Found only in salty waters, sea cucumbers are sausage-shaped animals with a warty and leathery skin. They are widely used as food and folk medicine in many cultures in the Middle East and Asia. Sea cucumbers, though flavorless, readily absorb the flavors of seasonings and foods they are cooked with.
Most creatures known as sea slugs are actually snails, i.e. they are sea snails (marine gastropod mollusks) that over evolutionary time have lost their shells, or have a greatly reduced shell or an internal shell. sea cucumber also looks slug-like and is sometimes loosely called a sea slug, but it is not a gastropod. Sea slug is a common name which is applied to some marine invertebrates that more or less resemble terrestrial slugs.
