Irisch Wakame Bio

Product information "Irisch Wakame Bio"

Irish wakame - wild collections from the Irish Atlantic coast

Irish wakame is an algae that grows mainly on rocks along the Atlantic coast of Europe. It was first discovered near Ireland, hence the name. The Irish people used the seaweed during the Irish famine in the 19th century and since then its popularity has grown exponentially.

Why we love Irish wakame

With its high calcium content, this seaweed is a great addition to the diet. The taste of wakame is quite acceptable by seaweed standards as it does not have a fishy flavour.

Algaran Irish Wakame

The harvesting area is in Kilcar/Donegal in the north-west of Ireland. All AlgAran seaweed is harvested by hand with great respect and care for the marine environment.

The harvested seaweed is rinsed on the shore and then dried at low temperatures to preserve its rich nutritional content.

Our organic certification requires that all seaweed is harvested only from clean shores, free from contamination, that the seaweed is processed within just a few hours and that the harvesters work with the utmost respect for the marine environment. In addition, regular analyses ensure that all algae products are safe and healthy to eat.

Algaran also guarantees with full documentation that their seaweed is only of local Irish origin, that it contains no heavy metals (contamination index), that processing temperatures never exceed 30°C and that it is freshly harvested (date of harvest is on the label).

Use of Irish wakame

Lightly cooked as a sea vegetable or in sauces and soups.

The dulse seaweed comes from the Atlantic coast of Galicia, in north-west Spain. Sustainably harvested by divers, the wild-growing organic seaweed is packed in 100g bags.

This may be due to the time of harvest or the development of the individual plants at the time of harvest. Dulse algae are wild-growing plants. They are generally harvested shortly before flowering so that the plants are still young enough to be sufficiently tender. Prolonged soaking or heating (boiling) reduces the firmness.

Sea vegetables are enjoyed in many coastal regions around the world and enrich most dishes with flavour and nutrients. Sea vegetables contain almost all the minerals and trace elements that the sea has to offer! In general, sea vegetables are an excellent source of calcium, iodine and sodium, a very good source of folic acid and magnesium and a good source of iron, potassium, vitamin B2 and B5. They also contain vitamin K and trace elements such as selenium and chromium, which are often lacking in land vegetables due to depleted soils. Sea vegetables are an ideal substitute for salt in a wide variety of dishes.
