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

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

Consider that just 1 to 2 grams per person per day can provide all the beneficial effects to the body, and such a small dosage can be almost impossible to detect by people who are finicky about their food.

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 maintain a light and well-distributed amount per tray.

Can we sell Bulk quantities? 

We strive to maintain a limited stock of seaweed to provide the best possible quality consistently.

We also pack our seaweed products to order, ensuring freshness and optimal nutritional value.

Why should you buy only freshly processed seaweed?

The active principles of seaweed are essential for our health. However, the drying process is not enough to preserve them for more than 24 months.
To avoid this problem, we use only fresh seaweed that we dehydrate within a few hours of harvest.

We regularly test our seaweed for Heavy metals, Such as Arsenic, to ensure it conforms to the highest quality standards.
