Wild North Atlantic Sea Lettuce: A vibrant green seaweed that we’re very excited to offer in flakes or whole leaf form. Commonly found in shallow, rocky shores with thin, green blades resembling lettuce leaves. Sea Lettuce is an excellent source of trace elements, iodine, vitamin A, B12, C, protein, iron, manganese, calcium, nickel, and dietary fiber. Mild & Salty Flavor: Fresh Sea Lettuce has a thin and delicate texture that transforms into a crispy delight when dried. With a hint of salt and a slight sweetness, it is best served raw and can be rehydrated with lemon juice and water. Once cooked, the flavor is milder, adding the perfect amount of salty, seaweedy flavor to soups, stews, or any dish that needs a nutritious flavor boost. From The Sea To Your Plate: Experience the most nutrient dense ingredient that gives a flavor packed twist to any meal. Enjoy Sea Lettuce whole leaf straight from the bag as a crunchy snack, or drizzled with olive oil and spices. Sprinkle flakes over your favorite chopped salads or use the whole leaf in sandwiches and wraps. Unique Health Benefits: Seaweed is low in fat, cholesterol free, packed with macronutrients, and rich in iodine, a critical nutrient for maintaining a healthy thyroid that is not found in many other foods. Known as a superfood, green seaweed is an amazing source of antioxidants and a popular addition to those following a vegan, vegetarian, kosher, or raw diet.

We make sure that our harvesting methods are environmentally friendly, protect the seaweed and maintain it at optimal freshness. *This is a wild harvested product.
