Lianyungang Kelp
Lianyungang has been cultivating kelp artificially for over 40 years and is the only kelp-producing area in Jiangsu Province.
Kelp belongs to the brown algae phylum and the kelp family. The algal body is brown, flat, and band-shaped. Artificially cultivated kelp involves taking young seedlings every autumn, clipping them one by one onto seeding ropes, and placing them in the sea for cultivation, with harvesting taking place the following summer. Kelp contains various organic compounds and 18 types of amino acids, as well as 6% sugar. It has high nutritional value and offers benefits such as reducing phlegm, dispersing nodules, promoting diuresis, preventing high blood pressure, vascular sclerosis, and excessive fat. It can also be used to extract industrial materials such as iodine, sodium alginate, and mannitol.
