ALGAE from PATAGONIA

Born from its most pristine waters. Cooked by the Patagonian sun. Respected by mindful hands.

Born from the water, infused by the wind, and cooked by the sun of our Patagonian seas, the essence of our algae is extremely delicate.

Its molecular composition has been designed to serve the highest purposes: to oxygenate our habitat and nourish our bodies. It is for this reason that the intervention of our hands must be equally delicate. Conscious. Artisanal.

Not all algae are created equal.

The quality of the waters in which they grow is a decisive factor. Therefore, ensuring a marine segment free of nearby ports and effluents is of vital importance. Same when it comes to our microalgae freshwater ponds. This way, the algae will absorb pure vitality.

The drying system is also key to guaranteeing that the algae retains 100% of its intact nutrients. Only sun-drying, done artisanally, ensures a temperature (below 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit / 42 degrees Celsius) that neither denatures the vitamins nor volatilizes the fatty acids.

Then, our hands only need to consciously accompany the processes of cultivation, harvesting, washing, cutting, and packaging to bring you a unique, clean, creative and productive alternative for your everyday meals.”

This is how we do it. This is what we care for.
This is Algas de Origen.
Your Origin. Your Essence.

Restoring human vital energy

Thanks to their unparalleled nutritional density—packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and fiber—algae offer:

Antioxidant
Anti-inflammatory
Immune-modulating
properties.

This translates into powerful health benefits, including:
✔ Boosting energy levels
✔ Supporting weight regulation
✔ Slowing aging
✔ Detoxifying the body
✔ Repairing gut microbiota
✔ Improving digestion
✔ Eliminating heavy metals
✔ Promoting liver and circulatory health
…and more.

Healing the Planet

Seaweeds are essential for environmental repair by:

Producing ~50% of the world’s oxygen (via global photosynthesis).
Capturing human-generated CO₂ and converting it into organic matter.
Alkalizing oceans, counteracting oxygen depletion and nitrogen excess.
Sustaining marine biodiversity—providing habitat, shelter, and food for fish.
Potentially replacing land-based biomass in food production, reducing reliance on external energy inputs.
Offering a bio-ecological alternative to fossil-fuel-derived consumer goods.

How Is Seaweed Classified?

Microalgae & Macroalgae.

Seaweed is divided between this two taxonomic groups

Microalgae

(e.g., Stranded Spirulina)
These are unicellular organisms that reproduce by binary fission every 24 hours. They thrive in freshwater environments and are cultivated by humans. Though microscopic, they perform photosynthesis, producing oxygen and organic matter essential for aquatic ecosystems.

Why Consume Micro-Seaweeds?

Packed with high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins (A, B, C, E).
Rich in minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
Contain antioxidants (carotenoids, chlorophyll) that support:
✔ Cardiovascular health
✔ Brain function
✔ Reduced inflammation

Macroalgae

(e.g., Nori, Wakame)
These multicellular, photosynthetic organisms live primarily in saltwater marine environments. They’re classified by color—green, red, and brown—each with unique pigmentations and nutrient storage.

Ecological Role:

Provide habitat and food for marine life.
Used commercially in food, agriculture, cosmetics, and biotechnology due to their nutritional and chemical value.

Health Benefits:

High in vitamins, minerals, protein, and omega-3s (key for heart/brain health).
Antioxidant-rich to combat cellular damage.
Low in calories/fat, ideal for balanced diets.
Supports digestive + immune health.
Sustainable cultivation makes them an eco-friendly food choice.
