What’s in itSmall chopped pieces of Seagreens® native wild Wrack seaweed Pelvetia canaliculata, whose composition and health benefits Seagreens has studied and documented for over two decades. Pelvetia is unusual, for half the time growing out of the water, hence its common name Channel Wrack - it holds sea water inside its holdfast at low tide. Nothing added or extracted. Non-allergenic. Safe in permanent daily use. What it doesPelvetia also has an unusual composition. Omega fatty acids are 3 times higher than our other native species, with an ideal ratio that’s good brain food; low in iodine so it’s ideal even for children; an effective prebiotic ideal for digestion; and rich in antioxidants for intestinal cleansing and blood circulation. With comprehensive minerals and trace elements and a little of every nutrient group, it fills all the gaps in a daily diet. How to useIn almost any food, from breakfast muesli to a stir fry, pasta topping to vegetable salad, Pelvetia has a mild flavour so these pieces can be eaten as they are, slightly chewy, or left in cold water for a few minutes to soften. Half a jar (25 grams) can be left for an hour in a litre jug of cold water, with squeezed quartered lemon, grated ginger roots and 4 teaspoons or T-bags of green tea, then strained out into a new jug to drink or keep in a frig for up to 3 weeks - a deliciously clean, very high antioxidant drink with a serious nutrient profile! It can be sweetened if required with a little pure apple or grape juice.

Low-level seaweed supplementation improves iodine status in iodine-insufficient women. British Journal of Nutrition, 9:1-9, 2014 (a Seaweed Health Foundation study at Glasgow University). The British Health Food Manufacturers’ Association advises that iodine supplementation should not exceed 500μg per day. In the EU the European Food Safety Authority allows an ‘upper tolerable daily intake’ of 600μg. In the USA this figure is 1100μg per day.
