Our beliefs
Food is medicine
Yes, food sustains and delights us, but it can also prevent, reduce symptoms of and even reverse disease.
Seaweed is amongst the most nourishing foods we can eat.
Natural, wholefood always trumps (potentially chemically laden) pills and supplements. Add more minerals to your food by adding seaweed which contains a blend of everything we need for optimal health.
Ocean, land & human health are interconnected
We are an ethically driven company, driven by a purpose to nourish and restore people and our planet.
We have a culture of continuous improvement in how we work, what we produce and who we work with.
Eating seaweed can help to reduce our ‘foodprint’ - the footprint we leave as a result of the choices we make about what to eat.
Provenance
It matters where seaweed comes from. Whilst Pacific is in our name, and we support local wherever possible, we offer a carefully curated range of seaweeds which have been sustainably harvested from clean waters around the world because not all seaweeds we would like to eat grow locally.
With the ninth longest coastline in the world, the ocean is central to life here in Aotearoa New Zealand. We proudly carry the New Zealand Fernmark on our New Zealand harvested seaweeds.
Building a Sustainable Business
Our purpose to nourish and restore people and planet naturally, drives all our decisions.
