Organic Sea Vegetables
Sea vegetables are wild ocean plants, or marine algae, enjoyed daily as staple and healing foods in many coastal parts of the world. Small amounts of sea veggies add a rich flavor and enhance the nutritional value of most dishes. Sea vegetables are rich in minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, iodine, manganese, chromium and more, at levels much greater than those found in land vegetables. Sea veggies also provide vitamins, fiber, enzymes, and high quality protein. Marine phytochemicals found only in sea vegetables have been shown to absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and heavy metal contaminants from our bodies. Other recent research demonstrates the inhibition of tumor formation, reduction of cholesterol, and anti-viral properties of sea vegetables.
Our organic sea vegetables from north atlantic coast are regularly tested on heavy metals, pesticids and herbicids, mineral oils and other contaminants. The harvest is done with a regard to the ocean wildlife in a sustainable manner. They are gently dried at low temperature, so all the nutrition remains preserved.
Dulse and Sea Lettuce can be directly eaten out of bag, as they taste as a great healthy salty snack. Dulse has a very high content of iodine and iron. Dulse flakes are milled so it can be used as a salt replacement for low sodium diet.
Kelp and Laver are great if soaked in a water before use. This soak water is then great for soups. None of the varieties shall be cooked, as the nutrients then gets lost.
