5 Nutritious, Wild-Harvested Seaweeds

Additionally, the seaweeds contain valuable compounds, such as omega-3 and -6 fats, fibre, and polyphenols. Low-temperature drying retains nutritional value, while fine grinding enhances bioavailability. The seaweeds grow wild along the clean Scottish coasts and are independently tested to ensure they are free of contaminants.

Use this seaweed blend to gain a broad range of marine nutrients or to increase your iodine and manganese intake.

Seaweed as a Nutrient-Rich Food from the Sea

Seaweed has been part of the diet along coastlines for centuries. The seaweeds kelp and dulse were historically eaten as alternatives to fresh vegetables. While East Asian cuisines still commonly use seaweed, its popularity in European cuisine has declined. Research increasingly shows that seaweeds are not only good sources of vitamins, minerals, and fibre but also contain other beneficial compounds.

Seaweeds are not plants, though they look similar in appearance. They do not have roots, leaves, or stems like (land) plants. Seaweeds use photosynthesis and only grow in shallow saltwater.

In terms of nutritional value, seaweeds are comparable to vegetables, providing a variety of vitamins, minerals, fibre, and other compounds. It’s important to monitor iodine intake, as certain seaweeds like kelp naturally contain high levels of iodine. As marine products, it is essential to choose seaweeds from clean waters, free from environmental contaminants.

The Blend of Edible Seaweeds

Rosita 5 Seaweed Blend contains the following 5 edible seaweeds naturally found along European coasts.

• Winged Kelp (Alaria esculenta)
• Spiral Wrack (Fucus spiralis)
• Kelp (Fucus vesiculosus)
• Thongweed (Himanthalia elongata)
• Dulse (Palmaria palmata)

• Iodine plays an important role in the function of the nervous system.
• Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Manganese supports bone health.
• Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue.

Additional Nutrients in the Seaweed Blend

In addition to iodine and manganese, the seaweeds provide many other nutrients, such as omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, amino acids, and fibre. The seaweeds also contain unique compounds, such as phlorotannins, fucoxanthin, and polyphenols.

Harvesting and Drying of the Seaweed

The seaweeds in Rosita 5 Seaweed Blend grow wild along the clean Scottish coast of the Pentland Firth. Harvesting occurs during the peak growth period, when the seaweeds have the highest nutritional value. The seaweeds are hand-harvested in a way that allows them to continue growing and reproducing. Strict local regulations are observed to protect the ecosystem.

The seaweeds are washed and air-dried to preserve nutrients. They are then milled and packed into capsules.

Independently Tested

Rosita 5 Seaweed Blend is independently tested to ensure it is free from contaminants.
