The algae that loves light...

A red algae common to the coasts of the North Atlantic, Furcellaria loves light. It can be found in the area of the foreshore that becomes exposed at low tide. With the light of day, it then displays the beautiful reddish-brown colour. From the Furcellaria, a water-soluble gum is extracted, which is used in food for its thickening, gelling and stabilising properties.
