Product Description
Kelp Whole Leaf 2 oz.
Sugar kelp has a lot of versatility when it comes to how to eat it; which is largely why kelp is increasing in popularity! Kelp turns a rich green when blanched, and can be sliced by knife or delivered into a pasta machine to make kelp noodles. Kelp noodles can be mixed into regular grain pasta or prepared into a seaweed salad. Once cooked, Kelp is similar in texture to large-leaf spinach.
Suggested Use
Can be marinated, blanched or steamed for use in salads. You can also enjoy cooked into a soup or stir-fry.
- Higher in potassium and iodine than other sea vegetables and land plants!
- Also a rich source of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and dietary fiber!
- Naturally rich in glutamic acid!
- Dried at mild temperatures – This keeps the enzymes active and the nutrition stable!
Certified Organic Seaweed
In 1992, Maine Coast Sea Vegetables become the first US seaweed company to receive Organic Certification. We have little control over the growing conditions of wild marine vegetables – but we do have choices about how, when, where, and how much we harvest, as well as how the seaweeds are transported, dried, stored and packaged. In addition MCSV is one of the only companies that independently chooses to do third party lab tests for possible contaminants through Katahdin Analytical, Northeast Laboratories, Brooks Applied Labs, and Eurofins. Studies are available on our website.
The NOP (National Organic Program) Standards help to ensure resource sustainability. These standards give clear and uniform direction to all responsible parties for harvesting and handling these precious vegetables on their way to your table.

Harvested From the North Atlantic

Seaweeds Harvested Since 1971Maine Coast Sea Vegetables was founded in 1971 by Shep and Linnette Erhart in their farmhouse kitchen, inspired by a pot of miso soup that was especially delicious. They realized that the soups’ full, rich flavor came from the wild Alaria they had gathered from the shores of the Schoodic Peninsula, and they soon began sharing their Atlantic Wakame and other wild-harvested sea vegetables with friends and neighbors. |
