Sea spaghetti from La Patrona: dried seaweed from Spanish coastal waters

Sea spaghetti ( Himanthalia elongata ) from La Patrona is an olive green and brown algae that is harvested from March to about June in Rías Baixas, a coastal region in southern Galicia. Due to natural drying at a low temperature, the seaweeds retain their structure and colour. Sea spaghetti is high in protein and fiber and low in fat. This type of algae is also rich in potassium, calcium and iron (almost ten times more than lentils) and contains antioxidants.

Cooking tip: Boil the sea spaghetti in water and then let it steep in soy sauce. This way you can keep the sea spaghetti for a few days and use it to enrich dishes. Due to its taste and soft texture, this sea spaghetti is ideal for people who have little experience with algae.

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.
