Protists haven't really been an accepted kingdom in biology since the early 90s. While they're now in kingdom Chromista, algae were under Protista and are commonly eaten. Seaweeds/kelp like kombu, nori, wakame, and dulse, as well as single-celled algae like chlorella and spirulina are some examples you might recognise.
I for one think it's weird that we don't eat protists
