It has all the molecules that are beneficial to humans and we can use it like salmon, shellfish, and St Jacques scallops.” The little pink pieces are the only one of its kind that is authorized for human consumption. It’s rich in iodine, amino acids and proteins, and iodine. It takes 15 days to produce a batch of it and only 3 hours to create the tasty product!
