Ingredients: Kombu (Laminaria/Saccharina spp.), Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana), Dulse (Palmaria palmata).
Superfronds Burger Blend combines kombu, bullwhip kelp, and dulse — seaweeds traditionally valued for their mineral variety and richness and deep umami flavor. Selected to enhance savory depth while supporting juiciness and texture, this blend integrates seamlessly into ground meats without overpowering their natural flavor.
Kombu & bullwhip kelp → glutamates + mineral density + moisture retention
Dulse → savory depth + iron contribution
Use 1 tablespoon per pound of meat to add subtle salinity, natural umami, and mineral complexity. For a lighter seaweed presence, 1 teaspoon per pound may be used. Ideal for beef, lamb, venison, and plant-based burgers and other ground meat dishes (meatballs, meatloaf, taco meat, etc). Optional: add 1/4-1/2tsp of salt. Include your favorite herbs and spices for flavorful, seaweed enhanced mixed meat dishes.
Research on seaweed-fortified meat products has shown that adding small amounts of edible seaweeds can significantly increase minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron — in some cases several-fold — while maintaining texture, juiciness, and flavor. Because meat is naturally low in magnesium, incorporating seaweeds can help create a more mineral-balanced, nutritionally complete food.
