Powdered Macrocystis pyrifera
Kelp Powder
Wet kelp is dried to 12% moisture and then milled into 300 µm particles. This process ensures optimal preservation of alginates and other essential components of the seaweed, and the product is aimed mainly at the animal feed market.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Kelp Paste and Kelp Powder?
Kelp Paste is a stabilized paste with 80% moisture, packed under oxygen displacement and intended for cosmetics, nutraceuticals and biomaterials. Kelp Powder is dried to 12% moisture and milled to ~300 µm, and is aimed at animal feed and agricultural biostimulants.
What particle size and moisture content does Kelp Powder have?
It is dried to 12% moisture and milled to ~300 µm: a fine, free-flowing powder that is easy to dose and preserves the alginates and the rest of the seaweed matrix.
What are the main active compounds in your kelp?
Our formats preserve the whole seaweed matrix: alginate (21–26% dry basis), fucoidan (measured through its indicator, fucose), mannitol and minerals, with total carbohydrates standardized at 28–31% dry basis.
What industrial formats are available for sale and shipping?
5 kg formats for samples and technical trials, standard 25 kg and 50 kg formats, and bulk sales for large production volumes.
Do you test for contaminants and heavy metals?
Yes. Every batch has certified analyses under ISO/IEC 17025. We monitor and report cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury to certify safety, as well as pesticides, antibiotics, nitrofurans and dyes.
