About Kelp

Kelp is a type of edible seaweed prized for its nutrient density and health benefits. Commonly used in Asian cuisines, particularly Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, kelp is a key ingredient in soups, salads, and broths like miso soup. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it contains iodine, calcium, iron, magnesium, and trace elements crucial for thyroid function, bone health, and overall wellness. Kelp is also a source of antioxidants and dietary fiber, supporting gut health and reducing inflammation. Low in calories and fat, it’s a great addition to weight-conscious diets. However, moderation is essential as excessive iodine intake can lead to thyroid issues. Sustainable and versatile, kelp is earning global recognition as a health-friendly and eco-friendly food. Its savory umami flavor enhances dishes, making it both nutritious and delicious.
