Our story Why eat kelp? Meet the farmers

the health benefits of kelp

VITAMINS AND MINERALS

Kelp, like kale and other leafy vegetables, is low in calories and rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Kelp is specifically high in: Vitamin A and K, as well as minerals including Iodine, Iron, Folate, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc.

ANTIOXIDANTS

Kelp is high in antioxidants, including carotenoids and flavonoids, which can help fight against disease-causing free radicals and combat oxidative stress that may help protect cardiovascular health and prevent cancer.

IODINE

KELP FOR THE CLIMATE

Animal agriculture uses ⅓ of our planet's fresh water, ⅓ of our dry land, and is the 2nd largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the world.

KELP FOR THE CLIMATE

Meet your non-CO2 go-to! Ocean-farmed kelp is a “zero-input food” source that requires no fresh water, dry land, fertilizer, or feed to grow and harvest.

KELP FOR THE CLIMATE

Since launch, AKUA has used 80,000 pounds of regeneratively ocean farmed kelp responsible for removing 4,000 pounds (2 tons) of carbon from our oceans.

Why is it called regenerative ocean farming?

Whereas sustainable agriculture seeks to maintain (sustain) the systems it impacts, regenerative agriculture practices such as ocean farming produce positive system impacts by restoring and healing systems (in this case, our oceans!) As a result of our ocean farms, farmers have measured increased oxygen levels, decreased carbon and nitrogen levels, species of marine life returning to the areas that haven’t been seen in decades, and even the shellfish are reporting thicker, healthier shells.
