The Huiro, scientifically known as Macrocystis pyrifera, is one of the most impressive macroalgae found along the Chilean littoral. This brown seaweed, which can reach over 30 meters in length, grows abundantly in the cold and clean waters of the South Pacific, especially in the southern and austral regions of the country. Its laminar structure and fast-growing nature make it ideal for various industrial applications.
At Seaweed Patagonia, we specialize in the marketing of Chilean huiro with international quality standards. Our seaweed is harvested responsibly from controlled marine environments, ensuring its purity, traceability, and sustainability. We offer both fresh and dried formats, suitable for the food, pharmaceutical, agricultural, cosmetic, or even biotechnological sectors.
Macrocystis pyrifera is valued for its content of alginic acid, mannitol, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, and other essential minerals. It is commonly used in the production of thickeners, natural fertilizers, nutritional supplements, and personal care products. Furthermore, its potential as biomass for bioenergy production has generated interest in industries worldwide.
Buying bulky huiro through our company means direct access to a network of certified harvesters in Chilean Patagonia. Each batch is selected and processed using methods that preserve its natural properties. We export to demanding markets in Asia, Europe, and North America, complying with relevant sanitary and phytosanitary requirements.
