Sea & Flour awarded patent for systems and methods for seaweed processing used in commercial baking
The brand's products include bread, buns, rolls, and pizza dough.
Sea & Flour, the first company to integrate seaweed into the commercial baking process, announced today it has been awarded a patent for systems and methods for processing seaweed. The patent (U.S. Patent No. 11,717,010) pertains to the process of cold washing, processing, and granulating seaweed for use in breads and other related products. These processes help ensure that seaweed can be successfully incorporated into high-volume baking while delivering the flavor and the nutritional benefits that come from the sea.
Sea & Flour products include bread, buns, rolls, and pizza dough. They are carb-positive and carbon-negative. As such, they help address climate change and expand regenerative coastal agriculture and the blue economy, while also improving the nutritional value of bread, one of America's most commonly eaten foods.
