Sea Palm *Dried* (Postelsia palmaeformis)

from $35.00

Sea Palm Fronds are slender, crispy, and ready to eat as a jerky-like snack. Kids love to nibble on Sea Palm, and it helps “ground” their energy if they have had too much sugar. Sea Palm cooks tender in about 30 minutes. It is remarkably noodle-like in texture, and is excellent in pasta dishes, stir-fries, and salads. Sea Palm is a Brown seaweed species, and is a good source of minerals, trace elements, and sulfated polysaccharides. It is a particularly good seaweed for bulking digestion and creating a sense of fullness with meals.

Iodine Note

Seaweeds can naturally contain significant levels of iodine. While cooking seaweeds can substantially reduce iodine content, individuals with thyroid conditions, iodine sensitivity or deficiency, or elders should integrate seaweeds into their diet gradually and thoughtfully. Professional guidance in these cases is recommended.

Why Wild Seaweeds?

Our seaweeds are wild harvested from coastal environments where they naturally thrive—often in areas of strong current, wave action, and elemental exposure. Dynamic intertidal conditions—shifting tides, sunlight, wave energy, and environmental variability—influence the development of many compounds for which seaweeds are traditionally valued, creating phytochemical profiles that differ from farmed seaweeds grown in more controlled settings.

We partner with harvesters working in high-energy coastal environments where seaweeds are exposed to conditions that support robust growth, diverse bioactive compounds, and contribute to the overall health and diversity of seaweed communities. Our harvesters are committed to the long-term health of wild seaweed communities, using sustainable practices that support regeneration and resilience.
