Seaweed is a very healthy plant-based food. The benefits of plant-based foods are well known, and seaweed brings several of them. In fact, seaweed provides abundantly more minerals than found in land-based plants containing bioavailable calcium and magnesium which are essential for building and maintaining strong bones, vitamin K for bone density, iodine for thyroid regulation, and other minerals that help support bone quality. This is also beneficial for people who are dairy-free and don’t get their calcium from dairy products, allowing the body to absorb it more easily.

Farming seaweed improves ocean health because it removes excess carbon and reduces ocean acidification and the harmful effects caused by global warming. The seaweeds we use in Sea & Flour bread are both rope-grown and hand harvested, and also wild species that are hand harvested by families in coastal New England and Maine who farm seaweed in their off-season from fishing.

Regenerative agriculture is restoring and healing for all. Farming seaweed is good for the ocean and our planet. It increases oxygen levels, decreases carbon and nitrogen levels, plus brings species of marine life back to areas that haven’t been seen in decades.

Conventional baking with sea plants will help expand regenerative farming in coastal communities, creating new livelihoods for people who are struggling because fish have left due to climate change.

Young people are dealing with too much stress. We see the toll this takes on their mental health every day. Can you imagine if all of the sandwiches and slices of pizza kids eat every day could help alleviate the biggest stressor of all? We can.

Today, our children don’t believe their future is sustainable because of the fearful messages they get without any realistic options for change.
