Kelp Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum), the knotted wrack or Norwegian kelp, is a brown seaweed of the Fucaceae family, native to the rocky intertidal shores of the North Atlantic from Norway and Britain to the Canadian Maritimes and Maine. Its tough, olive-brown, strap-like fronds grow up to 2 m long, swollen at intervals into single egg-shaped air bladders that float the plant at high tide, with yellowish fruiting bodies in spring. Dried and milled, it is dark brown with a salty, briny taste. We extract the dried whole plant.
