The use of kelp as a food source dates back to Middle Stone Age Africa. There, natives used to harvest it alongside other items, such as abalones and mussels. Some even believe that the existence of kelp around certain areas of the globe helped lead to some of the earliest migrations of modern humans. Known as the “kelp highway hypothesis,” it was presented in 2007 and is still debated by scientists and archeologists to this very day. As the decades and centuries wore on, more and more people began to take notice of the healthful benefits of kelp and its presence has rapidly expanded as a result. Today, kelp is as popular as ever and can be found in everything from chips and tonics to snacks and sushi dishes.
