The Frontier Kelp Powder is certainly healthy and far better for one than regular salt but I have to say it's a little slimy. It helps to mix it with spices.

This kelp actually TASTES GOOD! I've tried the Starwest Botanicals organic kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum species from Canada) and it was dry, unpleasant and chalky but this organic Laminaria digitata species actually tastes like sea salt and is super yummy on its own or mixed into savory dishes!

Also, this acts as an excellent, natural thickener which I put in my cat's moist food with pumpkin and extra water and this kelp thickens it up and gives it a nicer texture for his consumption (and it is also supposed to help constipation because of the naturally occurring alginate).

I've also tried this as a facial mask mixed with a little water and raw honey and it is very soothing and moisturizing.

This is definitely going to be my "go to" kelp from now on! Very high quality and the serving suggestion and iodine information [as another reviewer stated] is on the back of the package.

For you folks owned by cats: From a different brand of organic kelp for pets, I found the serving size for cats is 1/8 teaspoon a day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got Mine Today, March 16, 2011

Got mine today. Supplement facts, serving size, and proportions of Iodine (389 mcg) Sodium (40 mg) and Potassium (95mg) ALL on the label.

One little mistake I made early in the game was... getting my mcg and mg mixed up. My original old school civil defense KI (Potassium Iodide) pills were 85mg and the dose at the time was two a day for 14 days. Kind of difficult to achieve with powdered kelp.

BUT no one in the USA is going to need an emergency supplement of this nature, anyway.

Did notice that in less than a week the price jumped quite a bit!

Am going to make an attempt at soup with this as one of the ingredients. Will let everyone know how it turns out. I really like Japanese Nori (seaweed) and I used to use fermented fish sauce in things to get an authentic and particular flavor. Hoping this does the trick.

Should be interesting.
