The seaweed, Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) grows in abundance in the inter-tidal zone on the west facing coast of Norway and Northern Europe. It feeds through its fronds (leaves) enabling it to extract components from seawater and concentrate them. This concentration process means that Kelp contains more vitamins and minerals than any other foodstuff and explains why it is such a popular food.
