The Floating Huiro, a specific variety of the macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera, is distinguished by its natural air chambers that allow it to float and spread across the water’s surface. This characteristic not only eases its harvesting but also preserves its properties by avoiding prolonged contact with the seabed. It is a rich source of bioactive compounds like alginic acid, iodine, calcium, and natural antioxidants.
At Seaweed Patagonia, we specialize in the collection and supply of Chilean floating huiro, obtained sustainably along the southern coasts of the country. Our selection and drying process preserves the physical and chemical qualities of the seaweed, enabling its use across a wide variety of industries. From organic fertilizers to functional ingredients in natural cosmetics, Floating Macrocystis pyrifera is an eco-friendly and versatile raw material.
The properties of this seaweed make it an essential input for agricultural producers interested in biostimulants, as well as for companies that develop dietary supplements with a natural focus. Its water absorption and retention capabilities also make it attractive for formulations of soil care products and organic conditioners.
We offer customized formats for those wanting to buy floating huiro in bulk, with deliveries in dried ground, flaked, or in whole forms, and fresh options depending on seasonal availability. Our team ensures compliance with international export regulations and quality controls, allowing us to fulfill orders across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
