Ingredients: 100% seaweed* (Himanthalia elongata) *of organic origin
Origin: hand-harvested in the natural environment of the seaweed on the coast of Galicia (Bay of Biscay and Portuguese waters)
Sea spaghetti or sea beans (Himanthalia Elongata), also called belt seaweed, consists of two to three meter long green-brown strings and grows at a maximum depth of 20. These strings come together in a 'foot' that is attached to a stone or shell. That foot is the actual seaweed. The whorls are the reproductive organs. Sea pagetti only lives for a few years and reproduces only once, then it dies.
Sea spaghetti is brown in color and turns green after cooking. Sea spaghetti, as the name suggests, is a bit like spaghetti, it has a meat-like texture.
Did you know that sea spaghetti emerges every year in the middle of winter. They grow at a wonderful rate and are at their best in mid-spring. During this period they are harvested by hand on the rocky coasts of Salicyl by the divers of Porto Muinos. This is the period when the long strings are at their softest, most flavorful and nutritious.
Taste: salty taste.
Use: Cook the sea spaghetti with your pasta, rice and/or vegetables. This delicate, salty brown seaweed resembles spaghetti due to its long, slender shape and is often eaten as such. Sea spaghetti goes well with fish, vegetables or vegetable dishes and seafood. But it is also ideal for making a bed for your goat cheese and then serving it as a starter with a little bit of honey and walnuts. Or mix it with our fresh Salterra egg pasta with algae. Also delicious with cream cheese on toast.

The seaweed may contain traces of molluscs, crustaceans and fish and may contain small natural materials from the sea. The white color that may appear on the seaweed comes from the salt in the seaweed and provides natural preservation.
Compostable foil
The compostable film is made from cellulose from wood. Because this is 100% compostable, the product can serve as food for new crops after use according to the cradle to cradle principle. The foil is sturdy, oil, moisture and freezer resistant, suitable for use up to 40°C and has a clear, transparent appearance. The film that Porto Muiños uses is a sustainable alternative to environmentally harmful plastic products and is certified for compostability, both industrial and GFT, according to EN13432, which means that it completely breaks down into CO₂ and water in a maximum period of 12 weeks
