Kelp is an underwater plant with a majestic form, a deep green color, and a high nutritional value. Commonly referred to as “seaweed,” this botanical beauty is not from the common “seaweed” but rather a different classification of plant entirely. Care and importance should be taken when consuming kelp, and one should know its origin. Many of the world’s oceans are polluted, so it is best to use a Kelp product from a clean, pristine, and protected ocean. Hawaii, Iceland, Canada, and the Northwest United States are all prime locations for high-quality kelp products. Kelp is a great source of nutrients and can be easily added to any diet, from both the digitata and nodosum varieties.

Powdered kelp can be easily included in practically every dish. You may sprinkle it on entrees, soups, and salads, and it makes a marvelous drink in the form of a “green smoothie”. Also adds well to teas and in iced drinks. Encapsulated kelp is also available, as is the liquid extract from the fresh plant.

NOTE: Don’t use daily for more than 2 weeks at a time; take a 2-week break before using again. This will prevent you from overdosing on iodine and causing a potential imbalance in thyroid function. For periodic use only,;not to be taken for extended periods. Not to be used while pregnant.
