Why Seaweed

Healthy superfood

Seaweed is a sustainable superfood. Seaweed is the greatest untapped resource on the planet: it's healthy, nutritious and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In addition to nori, wakame, dulse and kombu, many more seaweeds are discovered as human food. Seaweed grows fast, purifies sea water and absorbs carbon dioxide.

Sustainable proteins

Seaweed is the most sustainable source of protein and can eaten fresh, dried or purified to pure proteins. Seaweed is a great ingredient to for meat alternatives, like vegetarian hamburgers. Seaweed has a rich umami flavor, is an excellent binding ingredients and some may even taste like bacon. Red seaweeds have vibrant colours and turns brown when cooked. 

Natural dietary supplement

Seaweed is a great dietary food supplement for adding extra minerals, vitamins and omega-3 to your daily routine. Seaweed contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. This makes seaweed a great natural dietary supplement. Seaweed grows on sea water, light and carbon dioxide. Seaweed generates oxygen and doesn't need freshwater. 


Hydrating skincare

Seaweed is a famous hydrating ingredient in skincare products, drawing moisture to skin cells, with potent polysaccharides absorbing water and bringing it to the skin. This provides long-lasting hydration. Seaweed is a natural, biodegradable ingredient, is anti-aging and antibacterial, while its anti-fungal activity enables substituting chemical preservations. 

Antibacterial wound dressing

Seaweed has very beneficial bioactive properties, including antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral and even anticancer properties. This makes seaweed an interesting ingredient for the cosmetic, nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical industries, for skin care, wound dressings, tissue engineering and antiviral, antioxidant, cancer-fighting and immunostimulating agents.

Methane reduction

If cattle were a country, they would rank third in greenhouse gas emissions, almost as much as the US. Feeding cattle less than one percent of their daily feed with Asparagopsis seaweed reduces their methane from burbs and farts with 82% and improves their feed conversion efficiency compared to cows not supplemented with seaweed. Win-win!

Support from RVO

Wageningen University

Seaweedland Bonaire

Seaweedland has received an 85,000 euro subsidy from RVO for Research & Development of its On-Land Seaweed Cultivation Technology. In this project Seaweedland will cooperate with Hortimare and Hanzehogeschool Groningen. The objective of the project is to prove that through controlled land based seaweed cultivation, seaweed can be produced at a higher and more consistent quality and will result in a business model that makes seaweed suitable for use in food, animal feed, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications.   

Seaweedland Bonaire

Wageningen University

Seaweedland Bonaire

Seaweedland had a very positive meeting with the government of Bonaire, Mr. Kroon and Mr. Adriaens, to discuss the potential and possibilities for land based seaweed cultivation on Bonaire. Due to its stable water temperature and clean ocean water, Bonaire is a great place for seaweed cultivation. Seaweed cultivation on Bonaire will create jobs, economic growth without adding pressure on eco-systems or additional waste. Seaweed cultivation actually contributes to helps coral reef conservation since seaweed extracts carbon dioxide from the ocean and de-acidifies sea water.

Wageningen University

Seaweedland visited Wageningen University & Research, to discuss the possibilities to use bio-refining technologies to create high value products, ingredients and compounds from seaweed. Examples are vitamins, proteins, polysaccharides, hydrocolloids, fatty acids like omega3, fibers for prebiotic, minerals and more.  The objective is to create a bio-refining process that uses and valorizes all compounds into valuable products without creating any waste streams. Seaweedland has spoken to Prof. Rene Wijffels and Antoinette Kazbar of the Wageningen University.     

Hanze Groningen

Sourcing in Bonaire

Wageningen University

Hanzehogeschool Groningen is the University of Applied Science. Seaweedland and Hanzehogeschool Groningen have started a Research & Development project to improve the quality and efficiency of seaweed cultivation by using smart on-land cultivation technologies. During this R&D project, Seaweedland cooperates with professor Rob van Haren, and students and the field of developments in the bio-based economy.

Sourcing in Bonaire

Seaweedland has identified and sourced Ulva seaweed on Bonaire. The seaweed has been brought to our seaweed lab for further analysis. Seaweedland cultivates local seaweeds, customed to local conditions and avoiding introduction of invasive species into precious eco-systems. The seaweed will be tested to determine the optimal cultivation conditions in order to produce the optimal quality with consistent production volumes.
