Seaweed for food
We know that the chemical composition of seaweed is crucial no matter what your company is producing - be it food, cosmetics or packaging. We take our responsibility to provide quality seaweed seriously. At the same time, all of our seaweed types are natural and native to their surrounding environment.
Division focused on the cultivation and collection of seaweed for the restaurant industry. We dedicate all our efforts to offer food products of the highest quality and to achieve this we decided to be part of the entire process of growth, collection and transformation. We are currently the first and only company with a government permit for the maritime cultivation of seaweed in Mexico, this culture is our main source of seaweed for restaurant use, therefore, the quality can be controlled with high precision in our specialized laboratory.

Wakame
Dark brown algae (bleached to a bright green), has a fairly thick and flexible midrib that divides the frond into two parts, each of these has several other divisions as flat protrusions.
Kombu
Also known as makombu or sugar kelp. Plant with a single leaf, green, broad, long and thick, similar to leather, but smooth.
Sagarme
Also known as Arame. Brownish-yellowish brown algae. When dry, it has an intense black color. Mucilaginous, with a lot of alginate and fucoidan.

Purple-red algae, branched (like a small bush).
Ulva
Also known as sea lettuce or lechuguilla. Yellowish-green plant, depending on its exposure to the sun (photosynthesis). Long and thin leaves, when dry they look like flakes, when rehydrated they unfold. Occasionally they have some small holes in their fronds. Waxed paper-like texture when fresh.
Kelp
Also known as giant kelp or giant sargassum. Translucent yellow-brown algae. It grows like a tree, from the ground to the surface and continues to grow, its branches grow from the bottom up and consist of a float for each frond, these filled with CO2, which keeps it moving towards the surface. Highly mucilaginous, with a lot of alginate; this helps it to re-hydrate or come into contact with any wet surface, it quickly regains its shape and texture, providing traces of its properties on whatever it touches.
