Atlantic Kelp

(Laminaria species)

Kelp is the ocean’s great forest — vast underwater canopies of brown macroalgae that form some of the most productive and biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, sheltering fish, invertebrates, and marine mammals in their towering fronds. Laminaria species — the true kelps — are among the largest and most ecologically significant of all seaweeds, native to the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, where they grow anchored to rocky seafloors in dense, swaying forests that can reach 150 feet in height. Our Atlantic Kelp is sustainably harvested from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic, where cold temperatures and strong currents produce some of the most mineral-dense seaweed in the world.

Kelp has been a food staple in coastal cultures for thousands of years — from the Japanese tradition of kombu (dried Laminaria japonica), the backbone of dashi broth and a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine, to the coastal communities of Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and Norway where seaweed has been harvested and eaten for millennia. Today, kelp is experiencing a global renaissance as one of the most nutrient-dense whole foods available, celebrated in the vegan, plant-based, and whole-food communities for its extraordinary mineral content.

Atlantic Kelp is one of the richest natural sources of iodine — an essential mineral that the human body cannot produce on its own and must obtain through diet. It is also an excellent source of potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, B-vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin C, fucoidan (a sulfated polysaccharide unique to brown algae), alginate, laminarin, mannitol, fucoxanthin (the carotenoid pigment responsible for kelp’s brown color), and amino acids. Our Atlantic Kelp is available as a fine Powder and as Granules.
