Gracilaria Corticata

Gracilaria Corticata, is a very potent Rhodophyta Sea Algae, known to some as Seamoss, and we are honored to bring this High Quality Seaweed on the market because it is not being commercially sold Anywhere Else.

The East Africa Seaweed Company, holds a special license to harvest from wildstock in a sustainable and ethical way, which creates jobs and opportunities in impoverished communities along coastal villages in mainland Tanzania.

Our Gracilaria Corticata is a prime example of how utilizing underused resources can uplift underserved communities

Gracilaria Corticata is only available for commercial sale through the East Africa Seaweed Company.

Why is Gracilaria Corticata so Special?

G. Corticata attaches itself to Thalassodendron Ciliatum Seagrass in the rocky Intertidal Zone.

The Intertidal zone is a tough place to live, plants and animals must adapt to being fully exposed in low tide and submerged in hightide. These are the nurseries, starting life first adhering to the ancient rocks and absorbing while basking amongst seas snails, urchins, sea snakes and other amazing creatures while patiently waiting for the growing Thalassodendron.

In these incubation pools competition for natural resources are fierce, G. Corticata has adapted well by adhering itself to the competing Thalassodendron during its photosynthesis from the rock and absorbing unique phytonutrients and phycocolloids and developing amazing beneficial micronutrients and high phytochemicals concentrations unique to Gracilaria Corticata:

We take special care in harvesting and preparing this important Seamoss to deliver to you the highest quality and most benific seaweed on the market.

Need to know: Gracilaria Corticata produces a complex extract sugar called AGAR, Unlike Other Species Such as Cottonii and Spinosum which produce Carrageenan. To Produce thickening Agar Agar, this seamoss will need to be heated and may potentially diminish its Nutritional content.

The nutrients are also sensitive to heat, we therefore clean and dry our G. Corticata in a very artisanal process to ensure it retains all of its delicate oils and nutrients for you.

Ready to order G. Corticata? We ship from Mainland Tanzania in 50KG  weight.

Looking to make gels from Seamoss? Select from our Eucheuma Spinosum or Eucheuma Cottonii Farmed Seaweed.
