About Product

Kelp, also known as rockweed, is a type of seaweed that has been part of traditional diets for centuries.

It is believed to have originated in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868) and, since then, has been used in many Asian countries.

It is a nutrient-dense food that is a source of minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber. Kelp powder is made by grinding the seaweed into a fine powder.

This powder has become popular in recent years as a quality food source due to its numerous qualities.

For added nutrition, kelp powder can be added to smoothies, soups, salads, and other dishes.

It can also be taken in capsule form. With its long history of use, kelp powder is an excellent addition to any food plan.

Suggested Use

Take 1/2 teaspoon 1 - 3 times daily.

Mixing suggestions

To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic tomato or carrot powder. Also, add a dash to your hot soup to kick it up a notch.
