Alaria Esculenta
Currently about 30% of our harvest is Alaria Esculenta, or Winged Kelp. To achieve a premium food grade quality plant, we harvest while they are still young, around 30-50 cm long. We harvest and process them near the shore as whole plants, ensuring that we lock in the goodness frozen fresh, as quickly as possible.
Saccharina Latissima
Our main product is currently Saccharina Latissima, or Sugar Kelp. True to our ethos, we harvest the plant while it is young and as a whole plant. We cut close to the shore so that we can pack and freeze our plants as fast as possible. This provides our customers with superior flavours and nutrient levels, keeping it of the highest quality.
Our ambition to be the best means that we continuously monitor the quality and traceability of our product.
Throughout the entire growth cycle, both inside and outside the lab, we litigiously test, track and manage quality. We do this so that we have a historical timeline of our seaweed's content that goes all the way back to seeding and its location at sea. From this data we can keep learning and improving our products.
We believe that we offer a superior product and cultivation process when compared to our competitors. So, it would be great to chat about your needs and how we can help.
Our cold, pure arctic waters provide the perfect conditions for growing seaweed of the highest quality. Rich in mineral and nutrients, our waters allow for seaweed to grow at incredible speed, over short periods of time, without compromising flavour and nutritional value.
At Arctic Seaweed we strive to make the best tasting, most nutritious products available on the market. That's why we developed a patented harvesting system that guarantees all that seaweed goodness is frozen fresh within 30 mins of harvesting.
Just below the surface of the sea we nurture an untapped resource for good; a plant that contains essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and proteins for healthy living. Our business is to care for a plant that can supplement as well as complement your product's health providing properties.

Seaweed quality is at its peak quite early in the growth cycle, so naturally we harvest it then. Seaweed has an explosive growth rate, but as it matures its taste and purity depletes. So, at this stage the plant becomes an excellent and cost effective animal food, full of nutrients and incredibly efficient to farm. Interested in exploring those possibility with us? Contact us
