Bull kelp is an annual seaweed, meaning it grows from a spore to maturity in a single year. It grows verrrry fast. Sometimes 10 inches in one day! Bull kelp's growth is most affected by light, nutrients, and water clarity. Alaska's inside passage is an archipelago of thousands of islands and inlets. Its fast flowing currents make it one of the best places on earth for bull kelp to thrive. We're excited to source this amazing food from farms and sustainable foraging to make foods that are good for you and for the ocean. Enjoy! #kelp #alaska #barnaclefoods #seaweed #asmr #science #food #kelppickles #alaskaseafood
