How do seaweeds come to my plate?
The first step is the harvesting of our seaweeds straight from the sea. We make sure to preserve the ecosystem by only harvesting small batches at once. Next, we wash the seaweed with fresh water and dry it in a drying chamber at low temperature to preserve the nutrients and taste. The seaweed is then stored and packaged. When we receive an order, the packaged seaweed will be sent to the supermarket or your home. Last step: your plate!

Is there a risk for my health because of the high level of iodine?
Iodine is important for the production of thyroid hormones. These hormones are needed for normal growth, development of the nervous system and for a normal regulation of your metabolism. Most people can eat too much iodine without having any problems. Only in people with a shortage of iodine in the diet or a thyroid disorder a high iodine intake could distort the thyroid function. A high iodine intake is only seen in rare cases in coast areas where seaweed is eaten in high quantities. So, seaweed can be eaten weekly without any problems. Just make sure you have a varied diet and don't get overly addicted to our products!
How can you be sure it’s safe and organic since it comes from the sea?
After harvesting the seaweed straight from the sea we wash and dry it and make sure to clean it of any impurities, samples are taken for quality control and lastly, to ensure the quality and safety, a final quality check is done. We and our suppliers are organically certified and monitored regularly.
I found some shells in the pack, is it still Vegan?
