About Us
Welcome to the world of KelpEat!
Our mission? To create healthy and sustainable snacks and foods based on seaweed.
Our products contain Kelp seaweed (Saccharina latissima) and sea lettuce (Ulva Fenestrata), offering unique flavors and high nutritional value. Sugar Kelp and macroalgae in general provide both environmental and nutritional benefits. They play a crucial role in the deacidification of the oceans, while providing us with Omega-3, rare vitamins, and minerals.
This is the sustainable alternative that enriches your diet with the essence of the ocean.
KelpEat is not just a snack brand; we are a movement towards a healthier and more sustainable future.
We envision a world where every table is enriched by the goodness of seaweed, fostering a sustainable future for both the environment and humanity. We invite you to join us on our journey to promote a healthier lifestyle powered by nature. We provide only EU-certified organic seaweed, supporting marine ecosystems in their regeneration and contributing to the absorption of CO2 in the oceans.
We work in partnership with the seaweed growers who supply the ingredients for our products. This collaboration focuses on exploring the nutritional and functional potential of seaweed, driving the development of innovative, sustainable, and nutritious snacks.
