How to use seaweed products Agar Powder: An odourless, flavourless, plant-based alternative to gelatine. Try it in raw desserts or as an egg replacement. Atlantic Dulse Flakes or Leaves: Dulse adds a unique smoky flavour to food, earning it the nickname ‘vegan bacon’. Try it with eggs and as a garnish on potatoes. Irish Moss: A cleansing supplement which may also be used as a plant-based thickening agent. Simmer to make a broth or rehydrate and leave to form a gel - a great addition to your morning smoothie Kelp Salt: An organic New Zealand salt enhanced with raw kelp from New Zealand’s pristine ocean. Switch to Kelp salt for a naturally iodised salt. Nori Flakes or Wild Fronds: Enjoy nori straight from the bag as a nutritious snack, or try it with eggs, stir-fries and seafood. Sprinkle flakes onto prepared food for added nutrients, dramatic colour and umami flavour. The flavour of nori can change depending on how it is prepared. Power of Three Seaweed Flake Blend: A colourful, tasty blend of three seaweeds - green (sea lettuce), red (Atlantic dulse) and brown (sugar kelp). Use it on vegetables, fish and rice for added nutrients and umami flavour. Sea Spaghetti: Adds texture, flavour and nutrients to salads, soups and stir fries. Soak in tepid water for 30 minutes, or boil/steam until it expands and takes on the texture of al dente pasta. Seaweed Salt: A blend of organic New Zealand salt, organically harvested Atlantic dulse flakes and wild wakame which adds beautiful colour and smoky flavour to any dish. Wakame Wild Leaves or Farmed Fronds: Adds nutrition, a silky texture and subtle flavour to any food. Soak in tepid water to rehydrate.
Pacific Harvest Power A sustainable star, seaweed is being hailed as the food of the future. It is carbon negative and requires no pesticides or fertiliser to grow – just the goodness of the ocean. Pacific Harvest has specialised in seaweed since 2002 and only works with ethical harvesters to source farmed and wild seaweeds from around the world. All their seaweeds are tested in accordance with the Australia New Zealand Food Code for contaminants. Additionally Pacific Harvest conducts nutritional testing to validate the claims of all their seaweeds. You will note the Fernmark on New Zealand harvested seaweeds – a valuable mark of provenance and trust. Their packaging is now fully recyclable following a recent overhaul.
Hayley Fraser-Mackenzie, Managing Director says, “We have reduced plastic in our range by over 30 per cent and will continue to raise the bar as new technologies become available. We are delighted that our new packaging is fully recyclable.”
