Biddeford, Maine, U.S.A-based Atlantic Sea Farms has launched two new "sea-veggie" burgers made from regeneratively-grown sea kelp.
The new burgers were launched on 3 October, 2022, and are available for retail and distributor purchasing. The company announced that the products will also make an appearance at the Philadelphia Natural Products Expo East, according to NOSH.
The frozen kelp-based burger products are being offered in two flavors: basil pesto and ginger sesame. They are created from all plant-based products, with kelp and green chickpeas as the two leading ingredients.
“Our kelp and green chickpeas are regeneratively grown, putting a totally new plant-based, climate action spin on the term 'surf and turf,'" Atlantic Sea Farms Chief Marketing Officer Jesse Baines. “Furthermore, this is the first product of its kind that is designed to taste like a kelp-based veggie burger, rather than a plant-based meat.”
Atlantic Sea Farms was the first commercial seaweed farm in the United States, and has been steadily increasing production of its seaweed via partner farms across Maine.
“Our new Sea-Veggie Burgers amplify the principles that drive Atlantic Sea Farms’ entire product line of award-winning, responsibly made kelp products. They include the same delicious, nutrient dense, fresh kelp – line-grown by our partner fishermen farmers in Maine’s clean, cold waters – that we use in everything we make,”Atlantic Sea Farms CEO Briana Warner said. “As a result, these climate action products help support local farms and ocean health, all while giving you a delicious, climate-friendly, plant-based, superfood boost. They speak to our mantra, ‘good food should do good.’”
