This seaweed (Himanthalia elongata) gets its common name, sea spaghetti, from its appearance, which is reminiscent of spaghetti with its strands up to 2m long. It can be used as a uniquely flavoured and protein-rich alternative for pasta. This seaweed is primarily found in Atlantic waters, particularly the northeast Atlantic from Scandinavia to Portugal and Spain, and colonises rocks in the lower intertidal zone. It is popular in many countries, especially France and Great Britain. Its roasted brown colour, intense umami flavour and spicy aroma all give a variety of dishes a special touch.

How are we different?
We source our small batch organic sea spaghetti leaves from the vast Donegal Bay on Ireland's rugged north west coast, where harvesting seaweed has been a tradition for generations. We source our seaweed from a family business that has been specialising in producing gourmet dried seaweed for 20 years. The seaweed is harvested and sorted exclusively by hand, ensuring a high-quality selection and a sustainable, environmentally friendly harvest. They are then dried gently at very low temperatures to preserve the quality of the seaweed, which is naturally rich in iodine. Past harvests indicate that iodine content are subject to strong fluctuations.

Sea Spaghetti
Cultivation & Processing
Our high-quality sea spaghetti is sourced from a family business who cultivates seaweed in seawater cultures in the remote northwest of Ireland. The harvesting area is partly located in a protected area called the Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which sets strict conditions for harvesting in order to respect and protect the environment. The water quality of Donegal Bay is also regularly tested by the government; several beaches in the bay have been awarded for having the best water quality.
Due to the strong tides and rough seas, the harvesting season is restricted to occur at low tide for a only few weeks each year. This unique algae can grow up to 2m long, indeed mimicking olive green spaghetti.
The seaweed is carefully harvested and sorted by hand and then gently dried with a dehumidifier at temperatures below 40°C. This careful process ensures that the unique flavour and nutrients are preserved.
