About
Super Seaweeds is an Israeli startup that has developed advanced, sustainable aquaculture technology for cultivating seaweed. This technology allows for precise control over the chemical profiles of seaweeds, significantly increasing the concentration of specific health-promoting compounds. Their "enhanced" seaweeds are enriched with nutrients, minerals, and bioactive molecules like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. The company aims to provide a sustainable resource for food and health, promoting Israel as a leader in algal biotechnology. Their methodology enables rapid growth rates and a significant increase in protein, minerals, high-value pigments, antioxidants, and sunscreen compounds within days. The seaweeds also exhibit elevated water purification capabilities. The technology is ready for adoption by the industry for use in superfood, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries worldwide. The research was led by PhD student Doron Ashkenazi of Tel Aviv University and the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute (IOLR) in Haifa, under the guidance of Prof. Avigdor Abelson of Tel Aviv University's School of Zoology and Prof. Alvaro Israel of the IOLR in Haifa.
