Mara Seaweed Kombu Kelp is a healthy salt alternative ideal for keeping on the kitchen counter or dinner table. Containing 50g of pure dried seaweed flakes, the pouch makes it easy to add seaweed to any meal. 85% lower in sodium than table salt, Kombu kelp is also one of the best vegetable sources of calcium. High in iodine, a small amount of Kombu kelp daily promotes healthy thyroid function, which supports mood, metabolism and body temperature. Kombu is best used in cooking, rather than as a final seasoning: think of it as the stock cube of the sea. A deep-water kelp, Kombu is renowned as a smooth, mineral-rich natural flavour enhancer, and its robust, olive green flakes have a strong earthy aroma with a citrus finish. A tablespoon of Kombu will soften grains and pulses, and make stews and sauces richer. A generous pinch on white fish before poaching or baking adds a deeper, complementary taste. Try Kombu in mushroom risotto, ratatouille and lentil soup for an unbeatable depth of flavour.

'Nourish Body and Soul' with Mara Seaweed

Our mission is to bring you the health benefits of seaweed in a delicious, easy-to-use format. Mara's flakes are designed to deliver natural flavour enhancement and essential everyday nutrition to any meal. We love the ocean. Mara Seaweed is local; hand-harvested seasonally and sustainably in Scotland and Ireland, honouring ancient traditions and working in collaboration with coastal communities. We then minimally process the seaweed within 24 hours, to lock in the maximum nutrients and best flavours. We like to think of ourselves as seaweed curators. We're committed to pioneering seaweed expertise, from harvesting and processing techniques to raising awareness of the benefits of eating seaweed. Our knowledge means the purity and authenticity of your seaweed is ensured from the moment it's harvested until it reaches your plate. We say 'there's seaweed, and then there's Mara Seaweed.' All our seasonings must pass a flavour test for deliciousness!

Delicious flavour enhancer

Harvested from the pure waters around Scotland and Ireland, Mara Seaweed is naturally rich in savoury umami, 'the fifth taste.' Use it to deepen flavours in soups, stews and salads, on meat, fish and pasta, or even in baking.

Nutritious addition to any meal

Seaweed is 85% lower in sodium than table salt, and high in healthy mineral salts such as potassium and magnesium. It's also an excellent source of protein, calcium, iron and fibre, and the best natural source of iodine.

Easy to use

It only takes 1-2tsp daily to add the benefits of Mara Seaweed to your food. The delicate flakes are designed to be used like salt and pepper, or dried herbs, to season food during or after cooking.

Healthy salt alternative

Because salt is often hidden in the food we eat, it's very easy to consume more sodium than our bodies need. Seaweed is a natural alternative to salt. Depending on the species, it contains just 9-12% sodium compared to table or gourmet salt, which can contain as much as 98% sodium. Regularly eating seaweed also decreases your desire for salty junk food, because you're getting ample amounts of complex salts instead.

A versatile seasoning

Because it contains glutamic acid, seaweed deepens flavours and improves the taste of both sweet and savoury dishes. It's delicious mixed with butter or oil when baking fish, but just at home in bread or cake batter. Use seaweed instead of salt to season meat and veg, to replace stock cubes in soups and curries, or in place of Mediterranean herbs in pasta sauces.

How did you come up with the idea for this product

In 2003, we met outside our children's school in Edinburgh. We realised we'd both grown up in the countryside, by the Scottish Borders, and shared a love of traditional Scots cooking and natural ingredients. We wanted to connect the next generation to Scotland's amazing natural larder, so we began foraging with our kids. This led to exploring native seaweeds and how to cook with them. By 2008, we had accumulated enough knowledge for a book, Seaweed and Eat It – A Family Foraging and Cooking Adventure. We also wrote about wild foods in a weekly column, and ran foraging classes. Chefs started coming on our seashore foraging courses, and wanted to know more about the umami-rich flavours. So Fiona taught herself about the different species of seaweed, and the best ways to harvest and dry them. She travelled to Ireland too, to explore their seaweed harvesting traditions. We felt like we had discovered hidden treasure: seaweed was a forgotten natural superfood, full of essential nutrients and complex flavours. We saw the opportunity to bring seaweed back into modern diets, with a new line of seasonings. It was time to build a new Scottish food brand.

What makes your product special

At Mara, we really care about our seaweed. We respect the ocean and know we are its custodians. Our seaweed is hand-harvested seasonally and sustainably from the wild, allowing crops to re-grow. We use our years of experience to select healthy plants from pristine waters and dry them at low temperatures, concentrating the nutrients so that even a teaspoon a day will deliver health benefits. Seaweed is a truly natural superfood. It contains a unique combination of all 56 vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and trace elements essential for human health. This harmonious balance of elements in seaweed makes it more nutritionally potent than any land vegetable. For example, calcium needs potassium and magnesium for optimum absorption by the body, and seaweed is high in both. The nutrients in seaweed are also present in their natural form, so they're more readily absorbed and processed. Mara's seaweed flakes are designed to be familiar like herbs and spices. We wanted to make the health benefits of seaweed accessible to everyone, regardless of their talents in the kitchen.

What has been the best part of your experience
