Seaweed Marine Herb Profile

Seaweed is not technically a plant, it is an algae, yet it has been in culinary use for centuries so it is commonly referred to as a “sea vegetable”.

Ascophyllum nodosum (often referred to as knotted wrack, rockweed, or Norwegian kelp) is a large, common cold water seaweed or brown alga (Phaeophyceae) in the family Fucaceae. It is a resilient part of the marine ecosystem in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, growing on the shores of several countries.

Highly valued across multiple industries as a natural biostimulant for plants, it is a nutrient-dense dietary supplement for humans and livestock, and a proven nutrient and dental aid for pets.
