Learn from Cordova women how to cook with sea vegetables grown at their nearby underwater farm. The culinary possibilities with kelp are endless!  

Growing kelp is regenerative because kelp serves as a catalyst for processes of renewal and restoration. Underwater farms provide sheltered habitats for diverse fish populations, often serving as feeding and nursery areas at key life stages. One chef, Barton Seaver, explains ribbon kelp’s uniqueness: “More than any other seagreen, it retains its texture, making it a good choice for adding a bit of crunch to warm dishes". Ribbon kelp is extremely delicate and offers unique umami flavor to salads, soups, or egg dishes. 

What can kelp do for your body? Detoxify; reduce inflammation; and provide an abundance of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
