About this product
Break one open and the color tells the story: ground kelp, dark as wet slate, with the faint smell of the shore at low tide. Nothing is added to give it that sea-brine note; it simply never fully leaves the plant.
This is Laminaria digitata, oarweed, hand-cut from cold Atlantic water off the Scottish coast in the season when its iodine content peaks, then dried slowly in the open air rather than in a hot kiln. Coastal peoples from the Hebrides to Hokkaido have eaten seaweed as a matter of course for as long as anyone has kept records, long before iodine had a name. Here it comes as a whole food, rather than the isolated potassium iodide sold elsewhere.

- Ground kelp (Laminaria digitata, oarweed) in capsules
