Why Organic?

 

Our Promise

To ensure the highest quality products, Atlantic Mariculture is certified organic by Pro-Cert under the Canada Organic Regime.

Compared to traditional farmed land plants, we have no control over the growing conditions of the wild marine plants that we harvest. However we do have choices about how, when, where and how much we harvest to maintain sustainability as well as how the plants are transported, dried, stored and packaged.

Organic certification ensures that all of our sea vegetables are sustainably harvested, allowing the seaweed beds to regenerate naturally, helping to maintain a delicate balance in the inter-tidal eco-system. Certified Organic means there are no additives to our all-natural products, providing a healthier product that is full of natural flavour and nutrients.

Our Products

  • Dulse - Leaf

    Our most popular sea vegetable, with a soft, chewy texture, distinctive taste and a rich red colour.

    Enjoy dulse leaf as a snack on its own, or use it in salads and soups. It is even great when fried!

    Available in 40g resealable bags.

  • Sea Lettuce

    Sea Lettuce is the “salad green” of the sea vegetables. It is a leafy, vibrant, dark green with a great flavour and aroma.

    Great when eaten raw, cooking will bring out a slightly bitter taste, so pair it with some complimentary ingredients.

    It is used world wide in soups and is often roasted for garnishes.

    Available in flakes and powder in bulk lots.

  • Roasted Seaweed Flake Blend

    A new addition to our retail-ready line of products. Flakes of Dulse, Nori and Sea Lettuce are lightly roasted to bring out a mild, nutty flavour.

    These flakes are a wonderful substitute for salt in almost any application.

    Mix with pasta, sprinkle in a stir fry or try it in a dip.
