Bladderwrack – Fucus vesiculosus

Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is a traditionally used brown seaweed valued for its mineral-rich profile and deep connection to coastal herbal traditions. Naturally dried and cut, it has a dark marine color, subtle ocean aroma, and a mildly salty, earthy taste that reflects its sea origin. Bladderwrack has long been included in wellness routines and culinary practices as a natural source of trace minerals, especially iodine, and is appreciated for its grounding, nourishing character.

This versatile sea vegetable can be gently infused as a tea or used in small culinary amounts to enrich soups, broths, smoothies, or savory dishes with a natural umami note. Commonly found along the cold Atlantic coasts of Europe, it is carefully packed in a kraft pouch, hand-filled in small batches to preserve freshness and aroma. Do not exceed typical culinary amounts. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
