Sea-lettuce is a nutrient-rich, edible green alga that is harvested intertidally by coastal fishing communities. Traditional fisherwomen of the Weskusmandjie Collective carefully collect, clean and sun-dry the sea-lettuce before adding it to coarse West Coast salt to create this unique product.

Top tip: Sea-Lettuce Salt is a wonderful addition to the pantry cupboard. Boost any dish with the delightful salty sea flavours by using it as a general seasoning. A great way to add flavour and a nutrient boost to salad dressings, broths and stews.
