The Pelillo (Gracilaria chilensis) represents one of the most valued species of macroalgae found along the Chilean coast. This reddish marine alga develops naturally in the cold, clean waters of the Patagonian coastline, where unique oceanographic conditions promote its growth and concentration of nutrients.
Recognized for its exceptional content of agar-agar, pelillo constitutes a natural source of high-quality hydrocolloids. Its gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties make it a fundamental ingredient across various industries. The molecular structure of its polysaccharides allows for versatile applications in food, cosmetics, biotechnology, and pharmacy.
Our sustainable harvesting process ensures the preservation of the marine ecosystem while attaining a superior quality product. Pelillo is harvested under strict environmental protocols, guaranteeing the natural regeneration of algal beds. It is subsequently processed using methods that maintain its nutritional and functional properties.
The nutritional characteristics of Gracilaria chilensis include essential minerals such as iodine, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, it provides dietary fiber, plant proteins, and natural antioxidants. Its low content of fats and sodium makes it ideal for healthy formulations.
Available in different presentation formats: dehydrated, ground, in powder, or according to client specifications. Our traceability system ensures the Patagonian origin and quality from harvesting to delivery. We comply with international certifications for exports to demanding markets.
