The nutrient rich cold-water marine environment in our region of the North Pacific Ocean is amongst the most unpolluted and unspoiled on Earth and is directly adjacent to Canada's Pacific Rim National Park. Kelp blades or fronds are selectively harvested from living plants when the tide and weather allow and are immediately delivered to our fully licensed facility for drying. Kelp is both dried in the sun and in a specialized wood-fired kiln heated with a low-emission furnace burning palletized sawdust.
