Description

Premium sea lettuce (Ulva spp.) whole leaf in bulk. Our sea lettuce is sustainably wild-harvested from the pristine North Atlantic waters and lab-tested for quality to ensure that you're getting the best product possible.  Sea lettuce is a nutrient-rich sea vegetable that's packed with minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. With 15% protein by dry weight, it's an excellent source of protein that's perfect for vegetarians and vegans. Unlike other sea vegetables, sea lettuce is moderate in iodine content compared to other sea vegetables, making it a great choice for individuals looking for options with less iodine.

What's more, sea lettuce contains more calcium than any of our other sea vegetables, with approximately 25mg per gram, and it's also a good source of iron, with 1.1mg per gram. But that's not all; Sea lettuce also offers a host of potential health benefits. For example, it may support liver function and combat age-related diseases due to its high sulfur content.

While sea lettuce's high mineral and sulfur content gives it a slightly bitter taste, you can enjoy sea lettuce whole leaf in soups, salads, and as a secret ingredient to your favorite recipes. Available in bulk packaging for non-resale* as well as sample portions for new sea vegetable lovers.

Good Quality. Potent Variety

Quality is good. Nothing to say about that. It surprised me how strong of a smell dried sea lettuce has. My mind made the assumption that with a name like ‘sea lettuce’ that it would be mild in comparison. It has a very strong smell and taste compared to dulce and laver. Like you open the bag and it will fume the room with a pungent sour ocean smell. Not in a bad way. Just a strong way. If you’ve ever made homemade sauerkraut, kind of like that. Strong sour smell, but clean. This isn’t the first time my mind has made assumptions, it won’t be the last, and that’s ok 😊 What I have learnt to do is release expectations because they are the path to disappointment. Thank you for the hippy lettuce MCSV ✌️😇💛

Thank you, Konrad for your humorous review.
Sea Lettuce is indeed an acquired taste. Its uniquely high mineral content ensures its powerful aroma, not in a bad way, just a strong way. In fact, Sea Lettuce has earned the privilege (solitary confinement) of its own storage room here at MCSV.  We hope you find many delicious hip ways to use it.
Be well,
- MCSV Crew
