Kelp Granules Shaker

Low sodium Kelp Granules (now a blend) are a convenient way to get your sea veggies. Kelp granules are "salty" yet low sodium, thanks to the rich complement of potassium, magnesium, and other mineral salts. Kelp granules are an especially rich source of potassium, iron, iodine, Vitamin B-6, Riboflavin, and dietary fiber. Kelp also contains a natural substance, glutamic acid, that enhances flavor and tenderizes. Phytochemicals in kelp have been shown to absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and heavy metal contaminants from our bodies. 
Our Kelp Granules are great sprinkled on soups, salads, tofu, pasta, stir-fries, dressings, dips, sauces, breads and tabouli. Get the nutritional benefits of sea veggies, and skip the table salt. Our kelp granules are a blend of Alaria esculenta and Ascophyllum nodosum. They are sustainably harvested, OCIA Certified Organic and a Raw Food. We also voluntarily test for heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, PCB's, fuel oil, and microbiological contaminants.

<h2>The History of Maine Coast Sea Vegetables</h2>

<p>Maine Coast Sea Vegetables got its start in 1971 in the kitchen of Linnette and Shep Erhart. The duo cooked up a pot of seaweed miso soup made with alaria fronds they had grown and harvested and soon realized they had a potential business on their hands. It wasn’t long before the brand grew from just two people to an expanding team of 40 who handle roughly 100,000 pounds of sea vegetables annually.</p>

<h2>Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Company Mission</h2>

<p>Maine Coast Sea Vegetables’ mission comes down to two distinct goals: to provide high-quality North Atlantic sea vegetables as user-friendly foods, supported by reliable information; and to build respectful, long-term relationships with our customers, suppliers, employees and the environment. The longstanding company pursues this mission with honesty, accountability, patience and care.</p>

<h2>Benefits of Maine Coast Sea Vegetables</h2>

<p>Maine Coast Sea Vegetables offers eight Certified Organic North Atlantic sea vegetables: alaria, dulse, kelp, laver, sea lettuce, irish moss, rockweed, and bladderwrack. Each vegetable is harvested directly from their beds at low tides, dried at low temperatures by sun, wood, or forced hot air (some are milled) and then packaged. The brand also imports well-tested organic nori sheets from China.</p>
<br>
<p>The earth-friendly brand works to encourage sustainable practices in harvesting, processing and merchandising — leaving more than it harvests, producing more than customers consume, and giving back more than it takes. Armed with a passion for sea vegetables and the nutrients they provide, the brand encourages customers to rediscover and enjoy this food source from the sea. </p>
