Seaweed powder

Product information "Seaweed powder"

Seaweed naturally contains iodine, amino acids, vitamins and trace elements, and is one of Zanzibar’s most important economic sectors. Seaweed is mainly cultivated by so-called seaweed farmers (Kiswahili for ‘Wakulima wa Mwani’). The seaweed grows in the warm, salty, shallow waters of the Indian Ocean. It is tied with ropes to wooden stakes driven into the seabed. The fields are only visible at low tide.

Did you know

Seaweed has a relatively short growing cycle of around six weeks until it is ready for harvest. Seaweed is also known as ‘red gold’ and, after tourism and cloves, is considered one of Zanzibar’s most important economic sectors.
