Our premium food-grade dried seaweed meal, crafted from sustainably harvested Ascophyllum nodosum, is Kosher approved and certified USDA organic for a flexible ingredient in prepared foods and snacks, pet products, soaps, lotions, and more. Backed by decades of experience in sustainable resource management and value-maximizing processing techniques, we are committed to ethical sourcing practices and delivering consistent, high-quality products. Our food grade seaweed meal is harvested to minimize seasonal variability and processed to ensure reliable and repeatable product specifications.
On top of its broad mineral nutrition, seaweed meal is a fantastic source of iodine, a key nutrient for development, metabolism, and immune system function. This makes seaweed meal an ideal substitute for iodized salt for fortifying foods with this key element.
Ascophyllum nodosum is also a reliable source of bioactive organic compounds like alginate, fucoidan, mannitol, polyphenols, and other healthful phytonutrients and antioxidants that feed gut microbes, hydrate and rejuvenate skin, relieve cellular stress, and reduce inflammation.
Available as a granule, coarse-ground powder, or fine-ground powder, our food-grade seaweed meal is ready for direct inclusion in many products or for further processing to extract specific bioactives.
Elevate your product line with the nutrient-packed power of dried Ascophyllum nodosum—contact us to discuss how to add some maritime flavor to your products.
