What even is seaweed?

Seaweed is the commonly used term for any algae found in seas, oceans and salt water bodies.

India has over 800 species found across three types; red, green and brown seaweed. They are all edible but some of them taste nicer than others!

We harvest Sargassum species of seaweed because they are delicious and versatile and abundantly available in Goa.

How is it harvested?

Seaweed is found in the intertidal along certain sections of the coast. We either harvest at low tides or freedive through seaweed forests and harvest what we need.

We are very careful to only harvest seaweed that is abundantly available and cut the seaweed from a certain height to allow it to grow further.

We also document the health and diversity of the seaweed forests we harvest from.
