What’s behind
this product?

Development

As our seaweed provides nutrition and health, it also creates jobs for many artisanal fishermen in Pisco. They carry out the harvesting, processing, washing, and pre-drying in the sun.

Respect

Our seaweed is unique. Not only for its high fiber and vitamin content, but because we work with the only certified organic seaweed provider in Peru, Algaex. They do conservation work endorsed by their B Corp certification.

Quality

Behind the quality of our seaweed is the expertise of our supplier, whom we have trained to avoid cross-contamination, improve traceability, and maintain proper mass balance.
