What is SeaStack?

Hey Crew! Welcome back to SeaStuff.

Today we are officially introducing SeaStack – the powerhouse of UNCRACKED. Read below to learn more about our Sea-tech. 


Sea-What? 

SeaStack is UNCRACKED’s seaweed technology. SeaStack is our proprietary system of testing, classifying and applying various seaweeds by their: functional properties, biological composition and nutritional value. SeaStack is an ever-growing collection of data that drives new ingredient formulation and product development for the food and beverage industry. SeaStack allows us to efficiently use whole format seaweeds, not extracts, to replace additives in food products! Through strategic R&D, we are solving for the same functions of these additives, with nutrient dense, carbon sequestering, low-cost seaweeds. 


Why are we 'diving deep' into developing SeaStack? 

Artificial additives in food products are facing scrutiny as consumer preferences have shifted towards clean eating, meaning less processing with lower and more nutrient dense ingredients . There are many novel food products emerging, especially plant-based, that still contain additives and lack essential nutrients. Seaweed’s nutritional profile is rich in phenols, protein omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins+minerals, and functional polysaccharides. SeaStack provides clear solutions to companies of all sizes, including innovation teams who are struggling to develop products without artificial additives.


What are the applications of SeaStack?

Our first functional application is designed for the plant-based food and beverage industry, solving for clean alternatives to emulsification without the use of unnecessary gums/fillers/additives. With SeaStack technology, we can improve the nutritional quality and elevate the sensory experience of various of product styles across the market with our cost-effective, flavor-neutral systems. But SeaStack is not limited to just the plant-based industry. Our technology also supports transformation to cleaner labels for the greater food industry. This includes categories such as processed meats and seafood, egg-replacement, baked goods, sauces and spreads, alternative fats, snacks and nutritional bars. 


Who is SeaStack for? 

SeaStack is for food brands and innovation teams working on developing or improving their products, without sacrificing nutritional requirements or clean labels. We work with companies of all stages to reach tech milestones and goals. By designing through a cost-quality-safety-sensory framework, we have the ability to customize ingredients to account for nutrition, shelf stability and functionality through our SeaStack solutions. There’s no doubt SeaStack is ideal for food brands looking to meet retailers requirements and guidelines for accelerated time to market.


What is our vision for SeaStack?

UNCRACKED is committed to develop a complete profile on each species of seaweed to obtain a deep understanding of how they interact in a wide variety of sustainable systems. With this data collection, we will utilize AI to create a platform to streamline product and ingredient formulation, allowing for the most efficient development of new food products, to meet standards in functionality, nutrition, and functionality.
