About OCEANFRUIT
editOCEANFRUIT is an innovative company that specializes in the development and marketing of high-quality, plant-based foods made from European seaweeds. Our products, including the popular Sea Salads, are 100% organic, gluten-free, and rich in essential nutrients such as omega fatty acids, magnesium, iron, calcium, and iodine. These nutrients are often underrepresented in plant-based diets and contribute to a balanced diet.
Mission and Values
editOur mission is to establish seaweed as an everyday food in Europe while having a positive impact on the oceans, the climate, and global fish stocks. We believe that good food should not only be delicious and healthy but also contribute positively to the environment. This drives us daily to develop new and exciting products that delight the palate while being environmentally friendly.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSustainability is at the core of our actions. Our seaweeds are cultivated in the crystal-clear fjords of Norway and off the coast of Ireland through sustainable practices. These farming methods promote local biodiversity and help reduce excess nutrients in coastal waters by absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon dioxide while releasing oxygen. Additionally, we support the transition of fishermen to seaweed cultivation to reduce pressure on fish stocks and create new income opportunities.
Awards and Recognition
editOur efforts have been recognized with the INTERNORGA Future Award 2022, highlighting our role as a pioneer in the seaweed industry. Experts such as Michelin-starred chef Christian Rach and food trend researcher Hanni Rützler praise our ability to make seaweed accessible to Western tastes and establish it as an essential part of the diet.
Unique Products
editOur Sea Salads, such as the Graved-Style SEA SALAD and the Midsommar SEA SALAD, offer a delicious and healthy addition to a variety of dishes, from sweet potato purées to exotic tacos. Each product is carefully developed to ensure optimal iodine content, thus helping to prevent iodine deficiency.
Vision for the Future
editWe at OCEANFRUIT are convinced that seaweed is the future of nutrition. With every bite of our products, you contribute to creating a more sustainable and healthier world. Join us on our journey and help bring seaweed to the plates of the world.
