This twin pack of Kelp Pepper Shakers includes two bottles with perforated lids. One contains 10g of fine kelp pepper, and the other holds 40g of the coarse pepper.
The pure waters of the Pacific Ocean flow through the fronds of giant kelp, providing nutrients to New Zealand's fastest growing plant, Macrocystis pyrifera (giant kelp). This is a plant capable of growing in the high energy surf zone, battling the crashing waves and the ebb and flow of the tide - a truly fascinating story. This journey starts with microscopic kelp spores floating around the ocean before attaching to a rock to enable them to soak up energy from the sun and grow skywards whilst feeding on the sea's natural bounty.
It is this marvellous plant, containing an enormous array of minerals, vitamins and trace elements, that is hand-harvested ready for use as Kelp Pepper. It is a good source of iodine, and has over three times the potassium content compared with sodium. Being bathed in the ocean and simply dried after picking, it has all the nutritional advantages of the goodness of the plant combined with natural sea water. Kelp Pepper can be used either as a condiment shaken directly onto food or as a seasoning in cooking.
The kelp is hand-harvested from fresh growing seaweed on our marine farms in Akaroa Harbour, Tory Channel and the Chatham islands. We also sustainably harvest live kelp from the wild under fishing permits. Nothing is added or removed from our totally natural products, except the water.
Kelp has been eaten by man for centuries and forms a major part of many peoples' diets. It is also taken by many as a health product. Kelp Pepper looks like pepper but tastes like kelp. So why use Kelp Pepper? A natural flavour enhancer, Kelp Pepper teases the senses with the aroma and taste of the sea. It's healthy, tasty, whilst adding flavour and gourmet presentation to your meals.
