In June 2020, PETA Germany awarded our Graved-Style Sea Salad with the prestigious VEGAN FOOD AWARD for best seafood alternative.

Turn the tide with every meal.

The other type believe that something so delicately delectable as our Sea Salads deserves more attention. They enjoy our Sea Salads on fresh pasta (Di Mare), to spice up a poke bowl (Koreanisch), with herby, roast potatoes (Graved) or in a light and summery salad (Midsommar). But then again, all go perfectly with a slice of warm, crusty bread.

Our flexitarian fans think they go best with fresh fish and seafood. For breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. The choice is yours.

"Why do we still hardly eat any seaweed in Germany?
Because no-one has ever managed to do what OCEANFRUIT has done and make them an everyday product without taking away their pizzazz!"

How did you come up with the idea for OCEANFRUIT?

You can read our story here: About Us.

Where do you get your seaweeds from?

Our seaweeds are grown in the crystal-clear North Atlantic waters off the coasts of Norway and Ireland. All our seaweeds are native and either come from aquacultures or are harvested from the wild. Both methods are associated with a high degree of manual labor and pioneering work. What this means is that there are actually people standing in the sea and in small boats in order to harvest these amazing fruits of the sea for you. A bit romantic, isn't it? We also source the crops directly from the farms, eliminating unnecessary transport and middlemen. This way, we always know exactly where the seaweed in every jar is from.

How does seaweed cultivation impact the environment?

Seaweed farms improve water quality and increase the biodiversity of our seas. They're also a zero-input crop, in other words they require no land, fresh water, pesticides or fertilizers to grow. This allows us to conserve these already-scarce resources.

Do your products contain any metal contamination?

We procure our seaweeds from Europe not just because they're regional, but also because the water quality in the North Atlantic is far superior to that of other regions. We want our crops grow in the best-quality water to ensure that we can avoid e.g. metal contamination. We get every yield tested by independent laboratories to make sure they comply with metal contamination standards.

"May contain traces of crustaceans." How can that be for a vegan product?

Crustaceans are an allergen and live in the sea - just like our seaweed. That means that we cannot 100% confirm that there are really no crustaceans on the seaweed or that they haven't come into contact with each other. Even if our laboratory tests find no traces of these allergens, we feel it's best to include them on the packaging anyway, because we don't want anyone to take a bad turn while enjoying our Sea Salads!

Which flavor would you recommend?

They're like our children. We love them all equally.

How do I go about eating a Sea Salad?

There are two types of Sea Salad fans. First, there are those who eat the salads straight out of the jar. For them, there is no better way to satisfy their hunger and travel cravings and no need for anything fancier than a spoon.
The other type believe that something so delicately delectable as our Sea Salads deserves more attention. They enjoy our Sea Salads on fresh pasta (Di Mare), to spice up a poke bowl (Koreanisch), with herby, roast potatoes (Graved) or in a light and summery salad (Midsommar). But then again, all go perfectly with a slice of warm, crusty bread.

How do we jar the ocean?

For four months, our seaweed is allowed to teeter in the waves, listen to the sea washing against the shore and watch turquoise cleaner fish play hide and seek between them. When you eat a spoonful of our Sea Salad, breathe it in or hold the jar up close to your ear, you yourself may be able to sense the deep sea.

Do your products have any particular health or physiological benefits?

Seaweeds have more iodine than practically every other plant-based food source. That's why it was vital for us to create an organic product that was both as tasty and as healthy as possible. Minimal sugar, no artificialness, no fuss.

Is seaweed a superfood?

Yes, but we don't like to shout about it. We want you to consume seaweed because it's super tasty and because doing so allows you to do something good for the climate and our oceans.

What about it makes it a superfood?

Seaweeds offer loads of minerals and micronutrients, far more than any land plant. But like land plants, each species of seaweed has its own specific properties. In addition, seaweeds are a fantastic source of iodine. In fact, one jar of our Sea Salads covers 50% of your daily iodine intake requirement. And thanks to the EU's so-called Health Claim regulation, we are allowed to say that iodine contributes to normal cognitive function and is necessary for neurological development.

Is too much iodine bad for you?

Our Sea Salads contain just the right amount of iodine for a normal adult to be able to eat two jars per day without exceeding the recommended daily intake. We base this on the recommendations from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE). If you have existing thyroid conditions or other health problems, consult your doctor first.
