Organic Irish Wakame is a versatile food ingredient that has a slightly marine taste before cooking it.

How much Wakame should you eat to get all the benefits?

How do we Harvest and Process our seaweed?

We are aware that over-harvesting can be unsustainable for the marine environment. For this reason, we are not supplying bulk quantities.
Our seaweed drying system can be more efficient if we can keep the amount per tray light and well distributed.

Can we sell Bulk quantities? 

We tend to stock a limited amount of seaweed to provide the best possible quality all the time.

We also pack our seaweed products at the orders to guarantee freshness and nutritional value.

Why should you buy only freshly processed seaweed?

The Seaweed’s active principles are important for our health. However, the drying process is not enough to preserve them for more than 24 months.
In order to avoid this problem, we use only fresh seaweed that we dehydrate within a few hours from harvest.

We regularly test our seaweed for Heavy metals like Arsenic, Salt, and Iodine to conform to the highest quality standards.
