Bullwhip Kelp *Dried* (Nereocystis luetkeana)
Bullwhip Kelp is the most mineral-rich brown seaweed that I know of: super salty—highest in potassium salts—and around 40% total mineral content. Though containing significant iodine compared to other seaweeds, it has one of the lowest iodine contents of all the kelps. It also contains the highly antioxidant phenolic compounds phlorotannins (found in brown seaweeds) that have been shown to reduce oxidative cellular damage as well as neuroprotective and antiviral activity.
