Botanical Name: Saccharina latissima
Origin: Canada
Production: Sustainably hand-picked from the clean, cold waters of the North Atlantic and low temperature air cured to preserve enzymes.
Qualities: Sugar kelp, also known as Wild Atlantic Kombu, is a brown sea vegetable that grows about 15 feet long in the intertidal and sub-tidal zones. The edible leaf-like structure is flat and smooth in the center and wavy near the edge. When dried, sugar kelp reveals a white, salty-sweet powder on the surface.
All dried seaweeds are exceedingly nutritious as they contain most, if not all, of the 24 minerals and trace elements and essential amino acids required for optimal physiological functions. They’re low in fat and high in fiber and they are one of the highest natural sources of dietary iodine, even when eaten in small quantities. Sugar kelp is especially high in Iodine and Potassium
Common Use: Sugar kelp is naturally rich in glutamic acid, an amino acid that is responsible for the flavor umami. Crumble some sugar kelp into soups, cook your beans with it, or add to any cooked dish to increase both nutritiousness and flavor. Great for pets as well!
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

I love the seaweed snacks the one reviewer made and shared. My husband went a step further and sprinkled on some of our home made garlic powder. I can’t wait to try the next bath with a dehydrated kale dressing.

Seaweed snacks!
Mine's been sitting at the back of my pantry, didn't know what to do with it until I decided to rehydrate some in a little filtered water (which I've kept for soup stock). In a few minutes I was able to unfold huge kelp leaves which I then dabbed dry, brushed with olive oil and seasoned with Himalayan salt and sprinkled with a few black sesame seeds. Into the oven on parchment for 10 mins on 400. I also mixed some rolled oats, 1 tsp tapioca starch to bind and sesame salad dressing into a paste and add some kelp to the mixture. Pressed into a pan with parchment paper. Brushed with olive oil and salt, 400 oven for 15. Yum!

Healthy Addition
When I pressure cook pulses and beans, I add this kelp to add savory flavor and minerals. This kelp has a nice soft texture when cooked and it is mildly salty and sweet.. Would buy again.

Sugar Kelp
The sugar kelp was was cut into manageable pieces and only a few chunks were too tough for my food processor to grind up. I used the kelp as an ingredient in popcorn seasoning and I also used it in several bath and bodycare products. I have been experimenting with adding it directly to rice as it is cooking and also in a nourishing miso soup. I have been adding kelp to my diet for more than 20 years for it’s plentiful minerals and also in my bath as it is very soothing and hydrating to the skin.
