Kelp is a form of brown macro algae that grows in thick forest-like clusters in the shallow ocean waters. A great source of sea-based vegetable fiber, Kelp is also rich in the essential minerals and trace elements found in the ocean. This includes potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium and trace minerals like selenium and manganese. Plus, Kelp contains high levels of vitamins K and B9 (folate). It is the seaweed most commonly found in fish foods.
