Integrifolia Pacific Kelp Sustainable Harvesting & Processing:web - kelp 1

Our seaweed (Macrocystis Integrifolia Pacific Kelp) is one of the fastest growing kelp plants and after harvesting (the top 5 to 7 feet) the seaweed stalks grow back just after a few days! Other types of seaweed once picked can take months or years to grow back leading to disruption of the ecosystem and surrounding marine life. Once the seaweed stalks are harvested direct from the ocean beds, they are rinsed with purified water then a patented advanced method called cold processing is used. This specialized gentle method uses no high pressure or high temperature and the whole plant is used  so there is little or no wastage. The end result is one of the most concentrated seaweed products in the world (over 98% whole raw seaweed) that has not been adulterated by over processing. Other less advanced processing methods can involve a good portion of the plant being wasted and stripped of much of its nutrients. All the benefits of raw seaweed without a pungent seaweed scent to the products! See ingredient education for more information on our Pacific Seaweed
