In Ireland the brown seaweed Laminaria saccharina is hand harvested for Sweet Kelp.

However in the Far East - the species that is used for Sweet Kelp / Kombu Royale is Saccharina japonica - in China alone 700,000 MT are harvested by rope cultivation.

It uses are similar to Kelp and its taste is just a bit sweeter than Kelp.

This is the seaweed the Scottish Crofters use to feed to their sheep to give the meat a sweet taste.
