Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Kelp Granules Blend | Organic Seaweed Snacks | Sustainably Harvested | Low Sodium Salt Alternative | Rich in Iodine & Minerals | Ideal for Soups, Salad | 1.5 oz (Pack of 6)

I absolutely LOVE this stuff. It is perfect for making vegan dishes that need to incorporate a bit of a “fishy” yet fresh flavor. This is incredibly healthy as well.My only problem with it, however, is that the containers are only filled to about half of it’s size. Granted, you don’t really need much of this anyway for your meals—just a few sprinkles here and there for a nice bite of the fresh ocean.

It is a good way to get iodine naturally. Iodine is an overlooked necessary element. The taste, when sprinkled on salads or other foods is not that noticeable. Otherwise it does have a fishy taste, but mixed with applesauce it makes a nice snack.

These are a great way to get an incredible amount of iodine while adding a touch of umami flavor. We add them to soups, noodles, and rice, and put them on top of pizza. The kelp is indeed harvested sustainably which is extremely important when there are unsustainable practices being readily employed elsewhere.

I use this as a way to incorporate more iodine into my diet. I have to say that I use 1/4 tsp which I turn up on my tongue and wash down with water. Not particularly fond of the taste. I just had blood work done to see if this has helped with my low thyroid problems and have not gotten any results yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this has done the trick and I can stay off hormone replacement. I will write back when I know. Otherwise, I think it is a very good product and will continue to use it. Update: Just got my tests results and one of my numbers has gone back into the normal range and one of the others is near to normal thanks to this product. On my doctor's recommendation, I will double what I am taking and see if I can get all my thyroid #'s back into the normal range. Please do not use this to control your thyroid without a doctor overseeing what you are doing.

I use this product as a way to get some mild salty taste along with many minerals from the sea. I think this is a good idea. I don't notice any off taste that's objectionable to me, but it may be well masked by foods it's with.

Upon the recommendation of my MD, I ordered this and started sprinkling my breakfast and dinner with it to increase my dietary intake of iodine and assist in treatment of my hypothyroid condition. (I'm on Armour Thyroid as well.) My thyroid levels seem to be doing better as of the most recent blood test. I don't think these flakes have much flavor, so I usually add sea salt in addition to the kelp flakes. But I do think the flakes help increase bio-available iodine in the body.

They are NOT disclosing that this product contain Heavy metals that produce cancer!!!

It took a while for them to arrive and when it did. I simply seasoned my rice with a dash of this while boiling the rice to completion. After using this, the next day I became nauseous and have constant bubbling in my lower left side of stomach area. I am perfectly healthy but this did start something. Again, I only used a dash. It was either this or the normal tea I had at Starbucks. I lean towards the granules but maybe I have some type of over-reactive thyroid gland.
