Ocean's Balance is the award-winning Maine brand that makes the ultimate pantry items using regenerative farmed and wild-harvested seaweed grown in the Gulf of Maine. We put seaweed into familiar, every-day pantry items so that people can enjoy it on a daily basis in food they're comfortable with. Why seaweed? IT'S REGENERATIVE. Seaweed absorbs carbon from the water as it grows, which helps to reduce ocean acidification, and it also improves the biodiversity of the water in which it grows. IT'S NUTRITIOUS. Not only is seaweed a great source of iodine, which is essential for a healthy thyroid and metabolism, it's also packed with anti-oxidants, Omega-3's, pre-biotics and all the vitamins & minerals we need to be healthy. We like to call it Mother Nature's multi-vitamin! IT SUPPORTS MAINE'S COASTAL COMMUNITIES. We partner with lobsterwomen and fisherwomen to farm seaweed which grows during the slower winter months. This allows them to diversify their income stream, stay on the water using equipment they already have doing what they love. You'll buy our products the first time because you're so stoked about seaweed and its amazing benefits. You'll buy them again and again after that because they're delicious!
