Cargill WavePure ADG seaweed powder in desserts

Seaweed Powder

Simplicity from the sea

Seaweed has a long history of being used as food. In recent years, seaweed has been hailed as a highly nutritious food, thanks to the many healthy nutrients it contains.

  • No chemical modification: Based on whole, not-transformed seaweed. All the natural components of the seaweed are kept intact.
