Explore the Flavorful World of Seaweed and Our Delicious Kelpie Cove Seasonings


If you're curious about seaweed but not sure what to expect taste-wise, you’re in for a treat! Seaweed’s unique, savory flavor profile has made it a beloved ingredient in various cuisines around the world. But at Kelpie Cove, we’ve taken seaweed’s natural umami taste and crafted three unique seasonings—BBQ, Ranch, and Classic—that bring exciting new flavors to your table. Here’s a guide to each of our seasonings, plus some creative ideas on how to use them in your favorite dishes.


The Taste of Seaweed: Earthy, Savory, and Full of Umami

Seaweed is known for its umami flavor, which is that mouth-watering, savory taste you might recognize in soy sauce, mushrooms, or aged cheeses. It has subtle notes of saltiness from the sea, balanced with earthy undertones that bring depth to any dish. Think of it as a natural flavor enhancer that can complement a variety of foods. And with our Kelpie Cove flavors, you can enjoy seaweed’s deliciousness in ways that match your personal taste.


Kelpie Cove’s Flavor Profiles: BBQ, Ranch, and Classic

1. BBQ Seaweed SeasoningFlavor Profile: Our BBQ seasoning is smoky, slightly sweet, with a savory kick that’s perfect for adding a touch of summer to your meals. The blend combines classic BBQ spices with the umami of seaweed, creating a unique taste that enhances anything from grilled dishes to roasted vegetables.

How to Use It:

  • Sprinkle on Roasted Veggies: Toss carrots, zucchini, or sweet potatoes with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of BBQ seasoning before roasting. The smoky flavor adds a new twist to veggies.

  • Top Off Grilled Proteins: Perfect for finishing off grilled meats or plant-based alternatives like tofu or veggie burgers.

  • Spice Up Popcorn: Add a sprinkle to freshly popped popcorn for a smoky, savory snack that’s healthier than your typical BBQ chips.


2. Ranch Seaweed SeasoningFlavor Profile: Our Ranch seasoning combines the familiar, creamy taste of ranch with seaweed’s natural saltiness and umami, resulting in a flavor that’s herbaceous, tangy, and satisfyingly savory. It’s great for anyone who loves the taste of classic ranch dressing but wants a lighter, plant-based option.

How to Use It:

  • Mix into Dips: Combine a spoonful of Ranch seasoning with Greek yogurt or a plant-based alternative for an easy, delicious dip.

  • Season Fries or Veggie Chips: Sprinkle it over baked fries, potato wedges, or even kale chips for a healthy twist on ranch-flavored snacks.

  • Salad Booster: Sprinkle on your salads or into dressings to give a mild, savory flavor without needing to add extra salt or sugar.


3. Classic Seaweed SeasoningFlavor Profile: Classic is our purest, most versatile option. It lets the natural umami of seaweed shine through without any added flavors. With a touch of sea-saltiness and earthy richness, it’s an easy way to add a savory boost to any meal.

How to Use It:

  • Boost Soups and Stews: Stir into soups, stews, or ramen to give them depth without overpowering other flavors.

  • Top Avocado Toast: Sprinkle it on avocado toast with a drizzle of olive oil for a nutrient-rich breakfast.

  • Elevate Grains: Add a dash to rice, quinoa, or pasta dishes for an extra savory dimension that pairs well with just about any cuisine.


How to Get the Most from Your Seaweed Seasonings

One of the great things about our Kelpie Cove seasonings is their versatility. They’re easy to sprinkle on at the end of cooking for a quick flavor boost, or you can incorporate them into your recipes to infuse the entire dish with savory richness. Here are a few more tips for making the most of each flavor:

  • Experiment with Pairing: Try combining our BBQ seasoning with classic summer foods like corn on the cob, or use Ranch to add depth to vegetable platters. The Classic seasoning shines with simple recipes where you want to let its natural flavor be the star.

  • Use as a Finishing Touch: Kelpie Cove seasonings are excellent as a finishing sprinkle to complete dishes, whether it’s on freshly grilled vegetables or a bowl of pasta.
