These algae species are mainly found on the cold coasts of the North Atlantic. Important collection areas are the coasts of Norway, Ireland and Canada (Atlantic coast). There, brown algae grow in tidal zones on rocks and are adapted to strong water movement and high nutrient content.
Appearance
In water, these algae appear olive green to brown, with long, ribbon-like thalli that can grow to several metres in length. They are characterised by gas-filled bladders (pneumatocysts) that aid buoyancy. The growth is branched, tough and flexible.
Production
The algae are mainly harvested in the wild, using knives or specially developed cutting tools to separate the upper part of the plant without damaging the adhesive organ. After harvesting, the algae are washed, dried at low temperature and finally ground into powder.
Organic Ascophyllum powder (AAAO0318 )
Ascophyllum nodosum
brown algae
Organic knotweed powder is used in the food industry and pharmaceuticals. It is rich in micronutrients, minerals, alginates and antioxidants. It is a plant-based source of iodine and has high binding capacity, prebiotic effects and a high fibre content.
Dried and finely ground biomass of knotted wrack from certified organic wild harvest as a source of iodine and minerals.
