Kelp-powered innovations are raging in 2021 and what is most surprising is the versatility of the ingredient. Kelp is being used in anything from food and seasoning to beauty products and even plant food.
In the food industry, kelp is featured in main dishes—Akua's gluten-free, low-calorie Kelp Pasta which is high in vitamins is a great example. Another instance of a kelp-powered innovation from the same brand is its Kelp Burger which is "produced without land and fresh water." This, of course, is a winning condition for environmentally minded consumers.
Kelpy is food, as well, but for plants. The formula is rich in vitamins, minerals, and growth hormones which help plants remain nourished and develop stronger roots.
Kōv also has a product featuring giant kelp—a deep cleansing and refreshing hand wash that has an unforgettable silky texture.
