Alaria esculenta / Winged Kelp

Product description

Alaria esculenta, also referred to as Atlantic wakame or winged kelp, is a large brown seaweed species of the family Alariaceae. It thrives along the Atlantic coast - lines of Europe and North America in exposed sites and grows readily on our ocean cultivation units.

It is rich in sugars, proteins, vitamins, and other trace metals and contains up to 42% alginate (alginic acid).

In addition, the iodine content is lower than most other kelp species. The nutritional profile of Alaria esculenta makes it of particular interest for the food sector. In the Faroe Islands, we can harvest Alaria esculenta in spring until early summer and in 2-3 years without re-seeding the lines.
