What it is

Organic dried kelp is a type of seaweed that grows in ocean waters. It is harvested, cleaned, and then dried to preserve it. Kelp is a natural source of various minerals and can have a slightly salty, umami flavor.

Why it's used

Kelp is often used as a natural source of umami flavor and minerals in foods. It can also act as a thickener due to its natural gelling properties. You can find it in soups, noodles, and some snack products.

Health notes

Kelp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural source of iodine, which is essential for thyroid function. Consuming very large amounts of kelp could lead to excessive iodine intake, which may affect thyroid health. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated kelp, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).

Allergen info

Kelp is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
