Kombu kelp
Protected: Organic Kombu Digitata Granules

Kelp L. digitata is a tough, leathery, dark brown seaweed that grows to two or three metres. The holdfast which anchors it to the rock is conical and has a number of spreading root-like protrusions called rhizoids. The stipe or stalk is flexible and oval in cross section. The blade is large and shaped like the palm of a hand with a number of more or less regular finger-like segments. This seaweed can be distinguished from the rather similar Laminaria hyperborea by being darker in colour and having a shorter stipe that does not easily snap when bent.  

 A great way to add seaweed in practically anything savoury you eat.

GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES ON SAFE IODINE IN TAKE The World Health Organisation considers 1100 mcg iodine per day to be the safe upper limit.
