CENALGA Irish Organic Certified -IOFGA- Ulva -Sea Lettuce- Whole Leaf - Sustainably hand harvested from wildcrafted seaweed - non-artificial sun-dried - 1.5 oz - 42.5 g We avoid Plastic Pouch

CENALGA Seaweed is dedicated to the sustainable harvesting of wild seaweeds from the cold, clean waters of the Irish Coast.  From the boat we scramble onto exposed rocks and harvest waist-high in the waves, taking care to leave plenty of plants for regeneration. This process not only ensures the best of the select seaweed species is harvested; the procedure is also gentle on the ecosystem. We hang the seaweed in the sun and it dries within 36 hours. This ideal environment provides CENALGA with an abundant seaweed resource base which includes: Sea Lettuce, also known as Ulva, Green Laver or Green Nori, found attached to rocks and other surfaces using a small holdfast or living in rockpools if it has become detatched. Sea lettuce is a bright green algae composed of lobed, ruffle-edged leaves that are coarse and sheet-like and resemble a leaf of lettuce.   It has a long tradition in the cuisines of many cultures. We do our best to pick out shell fragments, but take care for any we may have missed. If your Sea Lettuce dries out, just leave the bag open overnight in a moist place.  ?
