- WILD NORTH ATLANTIC KELP DIGITATA: A well balanced brown seaweed, that we’re very excited to offer in whole leaf or flakes form. Also known as Finger Kelp and considered a health food in Asia, providing a low sodium replacement for salt. Digitata is an excellent source of trace elements, iodine, protein, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, iron, potassium, carotene, magnesium, and zinc.
- MILDLY SWEET & SALTY FLAVOR: Kelp Digitata has a chewy texture and a mild, salty taste with a hint of sweetness. Dried Kelp has the most concentrated flavor. Once cooked, the flavor is milder, adding the perfect amount of salty, seaweedy flavor to soups, stews, or any dish that needs a nutritious flavor boost.
- FROM THE SEA TO YOUR PLATE: Experience the most nutrient dense ingredient that gives a flavor packed twist to any meal. This sea kelp contains more mannitol, which is a natural sugar molecule that gives it a slightly sweeter taste. Enjoy Digitata whole leaf straight from the bag as a crunchy snack or use as a base for soups, stocks, and broths. Sprinkle flakes over your favorite salads, stir-frys, or fish dishes.
- UNIQUE HEALTH BENEFITS: Seaweed is low in fat, cholesterol free, packed with macronutrients, and rich in iodine, a critical nutrient for maintaining a healthy thyroid that is not found in many other foods. Known as a superfood, brown seaweed is an amazing source of antioxidants and a popular addition to those following a vegan, vegetarian, kosher, or raw diet.
- SUSTAINABLY HARVESTED: Here at Vitamin Sea, we sustainably harvest our seaweed by hand from the cold pristine waters off the coast of Maine. We make sure that our harvesting methods are environmentally friendly, protect the seaweed and maintain it at optimal freshness. *This is a wild harvested product. We cannot guarantee the wild harvested seaweed is free from small shells or pebbles.
