l Wild wrack seaweed grows in the shallow, crystal clear waters of the Outer Hebrides.
It is hand-harvested, air dried and immediately milled.
It grows short, thick and is exceptionally nutritious due to the turbulence of the ocean.
l The seaweed continues to grow so the marine environment is unharmed. It contains all the micro-nutrients missing from processed food and depleted soil, including more than 100 vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids.
l It is described as having the broadest and most balanced spectrum of nutrients of any natural food.
l Bladderwrack, caragheen, dulse and dabberlocks; murlin, thongweed and sea tangle are among the types of the seaweed.
l Kelp was cut from rocks on the waterline and dried on stone walls before being burned for eight hours, usually overnight, leaving behind white ash.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
