Also for us lucky Cornish folk, it’s on our doorstep. With the Cornish coastline being one of the cleanest and well stocked on the British isles!

At the Cornish Seaweed Company they have been harvesting  seaweed since 2012. Born out of a love for life and the ocean, a belief in healthy and tasty food, they are a rapidly growing enterprise forming a team of over 10 dedicated seaweeders.

The team at Cornish seaweed scour the rocky shores in search for the highest quality seaweeds. All of which are harvested, washed, dried and packaged by hand, ensuring the highest quality using artisanal practices. They also free dive from the boat for some of the seaweed, making it hugely sustainable and limiting the environmental disruption. 

What’s more, seaweed is highly nutritious, so a little goes a long way. So if you want to learn how to use, identify and cook with this fantastic product this course is for you!
