What is Kelp?

Kelp is a type of seaweed that belongs to the brown algae family. It grows in "forests" in cold waters all over the world. For centuries, kelp has been used as a staple ingredient in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines because of its nutritional value. It is an excellent source of iodine, which is essential for healthy thyroid function.

Iodine is a mineral that's found naturally in some foods like fish and seaweed. Your body needs iodine to make thyroid hormones, which help regulate your metabolism and growth (1). Research shows that iodine deficiency can lead to goiters (enlarged thyroid) and other health problems (2). This is why it's important to make sure you're getting enough iodine from your diet if you don't eat seafood or other iodine-rich foods.
