Seaweed

Seaweed from Europe

When selecting our seaweed, origin plays a central role. We preferentially rely on traceable European supply chains and selected producers.

Depending on the type of algae, our seaweed comes from different European coastal regions. You will find transparent information about origin and processing on the respective product page.

Wild harvesting and cultivation of seaweed

Seaweed can be both cultivated and harvested in suitable coastal regions. Which method is used depends on the respective type of algae, the product, and its origin.

On our product pages, we provide information about the respective type of algae as well as its origin and processing.

Using seaweed in the kitchen

Seaweed can be much more than just sushi. Its maritime and often distinctly savory taste opens up numerous possibilities for everyday cooking.

Flakes are particularly suitable as a topping and for seasoning. Powder can be finely incorporated into dishes and spice blends. Whole leaves can – depending on the type of algae – be soaked, boiled, or processed directly.

Which seaweed suits which dish?

Dulse: Bowls, potatoes, vegetables, and savory dishes
Nori: Sushi, rice, soups, and toppings
Wakame: Salads, soups, and Asian dishes
Sea Lettuce: Salads, vegetables, potatoes, and toppings
Irish Moss: For soaking and for gel-like preparations

This is how you can select the seaweed to suit your taste and the desired use.

Consider iodine in seaweed

Seaweed can naturally contain iodine. The iodine content can differ significantly depending on the type of algae and product.

Therefore, no uniform consumption amount should be assumed for seaweed. Please pay attention to the product-specific information and consumption recommendations on the respective product page.
