Bladderwrack Kelp (Fucus vesiculosus) is a dried seaweed traditionally used in mineral-rich infusions and sea-vegetable style blends. It has a natural ocean-mineral aroma and a savoury, salty character that is typically best in small amounts. Bladderwrack is often chosen for iodine-containing seaweed routines and as a pantry sea-vegetable ingredient for broth-style preparations. This is a single-ingredient dried seaweed with no added flavouring.
