The Black Huiro, scientifically known as Lessonia nigrescens, is a native brown seaweed species found in the cold and clear waters of southern Chile. It is abundant in rocky and exposed areas, where it grows attached to firm substrates, forming true underwater forests that are essential to the marine ecosystem.
This seaweed has a thick and resilient laminar structure that facilitates its harvesting and processing into different formats. Its high content of alginates, minerals, and antioxidants makes it highly valued not only in agriculture for its use as a natural biostimulant but also in the development of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and dietary products.
