The Palo Huiro, scientifically known as Lessonia trabeculata, is one of the most imposing and valuable seaweed species along the Chilean coast. Its common name arises from its rigid central structure, resembling a pole, allowing it to withstand the strong waves of rocky shores, where it grows attached to stones.
This seaweed is characterized by its firm stalk and long fronds, facilitating its industrial processing. It is highly demanded for its applications in the production of alginates, agricultural biostimulants, and cosmetic products. Additionally, its natural properties make it useful as a raw material for supplements and functional foods.
