Yes and no. There is a cellulose derivative of seaweed, agar, which is sort of like Gelatin, that is used to thicken a lot of ice cream products. Agar is natural, colorless and tasteless in its purified form. Being a form of cellulose, it does contain protein, and several trace elements which are beneficial to humans and animals.
