Cuan seaweeds set in the picturesque village of Killough Co Down, we have been harvesting seaweeds and working in the marine aquaculture industry for over 20 years, harvesting shellfish and seaweeds from the pristine cold coastal waters of the Irish coastline.
At Cuan seaweeds we spend a lot of our time out on the waters searching in coves and inlets sourcing the highest quality seaweeds from sustainable areas to supply our customers.
We take great care in the hand harvesting of these delicate sea plants, once cut the plants are then taken to our specially designed dryroom, layed out on racks and dried at temperatures below 38c ensuring no valuable nutrients are lost during the drying process.
The manual harvesting of wild seaweeds has a long history in coastal communities dating back some 1500 years, where they have been collected for food, medicine, animal feed and soil improver.
Our aim is to deliver the highest quality seaweeds from harvesting, drying and packaging to ensure all trace elements and nutrients enclosed remain and have a healthy benefit to our daily diet.
