Established in 2016, Barnacle is a company in bringing flavor-first kelp-based foods to market. Its newest release, Habanero Hot Sauce features spicy habanero for a spark of heat, balanced with a hint of sweetness, and a deep savory boost from the kelp (the first ingredient).
Barnacle Food's mission is to do good for our oceans, communities, and collective future. Its products are helping expand the emerging kelp farming industry in Alaska by providing a high value market for up-start kelp farmers and harvesters.
Kelp's benefits include flavor enhancing saltiness (umami), unmatched nutritional density of hard-to-come-by vitamins and minerals. It is one of the most earth-friendly ingredients, requires no inputs to cultivate, and boasts benefits to ocean chemistry while growing.
