This kelp contains more mannitol, which is a natural sugar molecule that gives this kelp a slightly sweeter taste. Finger kelp (Digitata) has been considered a health food in Asia, and contains the highest amount of iodine which is needed for the natural development cycle. Broths and soup stocks are often enhanced by the natural flavor. Kelp provides a low sodium replacement for salt on pop-corn.

Nutritional Values

Contains abundant levels of iodine so consume small to moderate quantities. Rich in protein, vitamins A, B,C, D, E, and K, calcium, magnesium, carotene, potassium, iron, zinc, and germanium (a powerful skin healing nutrient).

Culinary Uses

Finger Kelp (Digitata) is the essential ingredient in dashi broth and can be used to enhance the flavor of almost any dish. Kelps contain sodium glutamate, often referred to as 'natural MSG'. Use dried, fresh, roasted, pan fried, pickled, boiled, marinated, and candied. Use in sauces, marinates, and salad dressings. Mix with seasonings for great 'rub' for your meats. Cook with other vegetables, rice, beans, and grains. Added to beans will help them become more digestible. Don't wipe off the white residue that often appears on the surface, it's precipitated salts and sugars and is full of flavor!

Latin Name

VitaminSea Seaweed is a family-owned company. We’ve been involved in the marine industry for more than 25 years and live and work on the ocean, harvesting and creating healthy, nutritious products from seaweed. Our seaweed is harvested from the cold North Atlantic Ocean.

The ocean is part of our world, and the more we research and learn about seaweed, we have come to realize that it is the most powerful plant on earth! Our seaweed is nutritious, contains antioxidants, calcium and several vitamins, and is perfect for anyone following a vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic or raw diet, although ANYONE can experience the health benefits from consuming seaweed.

We harvest, process, and package all of our own products. Our seaweed is hand harvested by us and our own licensed harvesters. We work year round to provide our customers with the freshest quality products available.

Everything we manufacture comes from live ocean plants, straight out of the cold pristine waters off the coast of Maine, not from seaweed that washed up on shore. We ensure that all seaweed we use is naturally sun dried to retain all of its nutrients at the highest possible level. Seaweed is a non-pollutant, renewable, and when harvested correctly, a sustainable resource.
