General Information About Kelp Powder

Kelp is becoming increasingly popular, although it is far from new. Kelp is a Pacific sea algae and belongs to the brown algae family. It prefers cooler waters, especially in the North Pacific, and can grow extremely quickly under good conditions.

In Asian cuisine, kelp has long had a fixed place and is used as a seasoning in many dishes. In Germany it is often found among food supplements. The cosmetics industry also uses kelp extracts in many care products.

Use and Application of Kelp

In the Kitchen

Kelp has a pleasantly salty sea flavor and pairs well with fish, seafood, soups, broths, salads and vegetables. Organic kelp powder is easy to dose, long-lasting and simple to use like a spice. Because of its high iodine content, the recommended intake should not be exceeded.

Kelp Algae for Natural Iodine Supply

The high iodine content makes organic kelp powder a popular food supplement. Iodine is an essential trace element that the human body needs but cannot produce itself. The German Nutrition Society recommends different daily iodine amounts depending on age and life situation; only very small amounts of kelp powder are needed.
