Why buy seaweed from La Patrona?

The various seaweeds are harvested by hand in the Galician estuaries, washed, dehydrated and packed by La patrona in biodegradable packaging, free of plastic. Harvesting is done on foot or by diving at a shallow depth and using a boat. The algae are cut off, leaving the rhizoid (root) so they can continue to grow. This seaweed is fully certified organic.
