In partnership with the company BRETALG, We offer organic Sea Bean seaweed, in flakes, dehydrated at low temperature (40°C) and presented in a resealable kraft packaging that protects your seaweed from light.

🌿 Also known as "sea spaghetti," the sea bean (Himanthalia elongata) is one of the most popular seaweeds. It is harvested during high tides and can reach up to 3 meters in length. With its olive green color, its subtle taste is highly appreciated by many seaweed consumers !

> Its taste is slightly sweet, with a light marine fragrance, not very iodized. Its beautiful dark green color and texture are reminiscent of terrestrial green beans, hence its name ;) In its form offresh seaweed or dried after rehydration, sea beans are very easy to prepare. They pair very well with soy sauce and will inspire original and refined "crusinary" creations.
