NOW Foods Kelp, Pure Powder – 227 grams

Kelp Pure Powder from Laminaria spp. is a finely milled seaweed powder presented in a 227 g resealable pack, complete with a serving scoop. Kelp is a broad-leafed brown algae harvested from cold ocean waters, and it has long been a staple ingredient in East Asian cuisines — particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cooking. In powder form, it can be stirred into smoothies, juices, soups, or other recipes as a straightforward way to incorporate seaweed into everyday meals.

As a natural source of iodine, kelp powder appeals to those who prefer to obtain minerals from whole-food or botanical sources rather than synthetic supplements. Each level scoop (0.09 g) delivers 450 µg of iodine alongside 90 mg of kelp from the whole plant. The unflavoured powder has a mild, characteristic seaweed taste that blends well into strongly flavoured drinks or dishes.

This product is particularly well suited to individuals following plant-based or macrobiotic diets, as well as anyone with an interest in traditional East Asian food culture who wants to add a natural seaweed ingredient to their kitchen staples.
