Alaria Powder - "Wild Atlantic Wakame" - Organic Seaweed - 1 Pound

Every experience I’ve had with this company has been great. They ship very quickly and their products are always top quality. The one time I reached out to them I received a lovely reply.

This is really great Kelp, so great it tastes like I just pulled it from the ocean and popped some right in my mouth. It’s incredibly strong. I followed the advice of another reviewer and mixed it with water in a 1:1 ratio to form little kelp pills. These were deceptively easy to swallow, and I could barely taste anything. I then made the fatal mistake of adding the powder straight into a smoothie. I thought I was going to die drinking it, but I managed to force it down. There are no berries, nuts, or protein powder on the face of the earth that are strong enough to mask this flavor in a smoothie- don’t do it. I think that goes to show that this is a concentrated, pure, undiluted product. I like having another source of Iodine in addition to Iodoral, so I will purchase again.

Really healthy product. But the taste is terrible. So I got empty capsules and scooped it inside them for swallowing. So much easier to take.

Excellent product. I use it in my smoothies and it's great. Cheaper by the pound and getting more the dulse in my drinks than purchasing the Organic Detox Smoothie Powder which was alot more expensive. I also purchased Spirulina and Barley Grass powders (8.75) which were again cheaper than the Detox Powder. I highly recommend Maine Coast Sea Vegetables. Will definitely keep buying from them.

I love it because it doesn't come from Japan. It comes from the Atlantic Ocean where there is no radiation yet flooding the waters like from Fukishima. The media is owned by 6 giant corporations and the government. They're down playing the s*** out of the situation. The media is extremely biased and rich, so they don't care about us, they just want our money. And if we get sick they get more money. Don't let that happen by staying ignorant. Buy this with the understanding that there's still heavy metals in it and so taking something else like clay and cilantro to help with removal would be safer. Look into radiation if you have no clue why heavy metals aren't as dangerous as it. And for the record every second, day, year the oceans are significantly more polluted than before. Please be aware and informed. I would be informed about spirulina/chlorella as well. Especially as to specifically WHERE it's harvested from. I was looking into a safe source and the first thing I stumbled upon was Dr. Mercola. Not sure of the validity yet just stating where I'm currently at myself since we are all learning everyday (I hope) and life is a journey of wisdom and healing. I'm gona continue on source checking. Oh and as far as taste of this product, I have no clue! I don't care about the tastes of things.

Works well; I add it to my detox bath. I also use it to refresh my marine sponges I use to bathe with as well.I’d give 5 stars but it’s expensive for the volume/weight. Love that it is well sourced, but $$$$ yikes.

I will update this review in a few weeks, but am leaving one now because some of the other reviews had me trepidacious about ordering because of the smell/taste. Am desperate for a good source of iodine so I went ahead and ordered. It arrived today and smelled as one might expect seaweed to smell, sort of potently beachy...but went ahead and sprinkled a first dose of 3/4 teaspoon on my baked sweet potato. I have a good sense of smell and taste and seriously the taste was hardly noticeable. I put a teeny pinch on y dogs dinner and cat's dinner too and they seemed to like it.

It arrived as expected and advertised. The taste is terrible but it's not designed to be eaten straight-up.If you mix it into a smoothie or into anything for that matter to mask the task it's fine. It tastes exactly the way you would expect sea kelp to taste-Green & Salty..
