Fresh Kelp Ribbons and Sheets

Harvested from cold, clean coastal water, this dark green sea vegetable arrives as both fine-cut strips and folded sheets, so you can use it straight in a salad or slice it to your own thickness.

Its flavour is clean and gently savoury with a pleasant mineral finish, and the texture stays bouncy rather than soft — it holds a dressing without going limp.
