All about the seaweed in OMA

Is this organic seaweed?

Seaweed is the most natural and sustainable superfood from the ocean as it doesn’t require any fertilizers and pesticides. However, we haven’t yet received the organic credentials in the U.S.

Where does OMA source the seaweed?

We have partnered with a seaweed farm from Korea, known as the No.1 high-quality seaweed supplier. Since seaweed is a key ingredient in many Korean dishes, the clean waters and shallow water levels create ideal environments for cultivating seaweed.  

What species of seaweed do you use and why?

In our seaweed soup, we use Miyeok, a type of brown seaweed also known as Wakame. It’s a staple in Korean cuisine, loved for its satiny texture and naturally subtle umami flavor from the ocean.

Are you testing for heavy metals in Seaweed?

Our seaweed is consistently analyzed for heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms by an independent, third-party testing agency to ensure our product is completely clean and safe for consumption.

Is seaweed safe to eat every day?

Yes, in moderate amounts—its nutrient density supports daily wellness. As always, we recommend checking with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Why is seaweed important for new mothers?

It replenishes minerals lost during childbirth and supports recovery naturally, might promote lactation.

How does seaweed help the environment?

It absorbs CO₂, restores marine habitats, and grows without soil, freshwater or chemicals.

How many cubes can I enjoy each day?

Feel free to enjoy 2-3 cubes a day as part of your routine! Since everybody is different, remember that moderation is key. If you have any questions about how they fit into your diet, your healthcare provider is always your best resource.
