Ecklonia cava
Ecklonia cava, a member of the Laminariales genus and the Lessoniaceae family, is a species of brown algae found abundantly in Japan and Korea. It plays an important role in these countries' local cuisines. This species grows at depths of 2–25 metres and forms dense, underwater seaweed forests which grow up to 1.3 metres high.
Brown algae from the Ecklonia genus are rich in polyphenols, of which their phlorotannins are particularly noteworthy. Phlorotannins are natural polyphenols that are found in large amounts in brown algae. Ecklonia cava shares the phlorotannins eckol, bieckol, dieckol and phlorofucofuroekol of other Ecklonia species.
The original Hawaiian Spirulina in premium quality
The steady, tropical climate of the Konak coast on the Big Island, Hawaii ensures the highest quality spirulina all year round, with a high nutrient density and a pleasantly mild taste; for many, Hawaii spirulina is considered to be the best in the world in terms of taste and quality!
The growth conditions are strictly controlled to guarantee premium quality spirulina, free from contamination by foreign algae or pollutants.
Great importance is attached to sustainable cultivation; no pesticides or synthetic fertilisers are used. The nutrient supply of Spirulina platensis pacifica comes exclusively from natural sea and spring water as well as naturally occurring minerals found in lava rock. Spirulina Hawaii is also recommended for raw foodists, because the patented spray-drying process (ocean-chill method) is carried out at low temperatures, preserving over 90% of the ingredients.
