This is Irish.

Our beautiful emerald isle is world famous for its luscious green landscape. But do you know what an amazing biodiverse marine culture we have, largely untapped, sitting on our wild and rugged length of coastline? Ireland has over 7,500km of rocky coastline, shaped for millions of years by the rugged and untamed strength of the great Atlantic to our west. Diving beneath these depths is another world of unharnessed beauty and nutrition.

This is health.

We have more than 500 species of seaweed growing in abundance off our coast, soaking up the clean natural minerals and vitamins from the nutrient rich Atlantic. Nowadays we understand more about the impact of food choices on our health, and there is far more interest in knowing what’s in our food and ultimately what’s good for us. We care about our healthy lifestyles, and it is important that there is accountability on where our food comes from and how it is processed.

This is seaweed.

As a marine biologist I have studied our beautiful west coastline and all it has to offer for many years. I want to bring you on my incredible culinary journey, from Atlantic shores to Irish kitchens. My passion is delicious healthful local seafood. And I’m very proud to be able to bring you 100% organic, super-healthy and delicious Irish seaweed harvested locally from the nutrient rich waters of the Irish Atlantic.
