It's quite fortunate that we tried eating green caviar – sea grapes – under the recommendation of some Thai friends. It was a fresh and unique food that had we never eaten in Taiwan. As we gently chewed, the sticky collagen-filled sea grapes popped open. We have never forgotten the incredible taste of the pulp that burst from them. That's why we wanted to learn more about sea grapes; what kind of nutritional benefits and health effects could they offer?

Although we are a Gourmet Group, often going to different major well-renowned restaurants in Taiwan, we still couldn't find any traces of sea grapes. The ones that we occasionally ate in Taipei were too different from the taste of those we could eat abroad. Therefore, we called ourselves the “Gourmet Group” and decided to use what we had learned to create a wonderland in the midst of the green hills and clear waters of Thailand, where we started breeding sea grapes. We also decided to promote and sell sea grapes in Taiwan. It is our belief that everyone should be able to enjoy world-class natural health and foods that promote longevity.

Sea grapes originate from the waters south of the ancient islands of Okinawa, and are one of Okinawa's best-known natural commodities. The name "sea grapes" arises from the physical similarity to their land-based counterparts; their crystal clear appearance, their pale green color, and the way they grow in strings of filaments or "vines".

Seaweed polysaccharides, collagen, and dietary fiber account for 80% of the sea grapes' composition, and sea grapes nutritionally rich, abundant in minerals and vitamins, and contain unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, algal polysaccharides, and other beneficial active substances. Among the 16 amino acids discovered in sea grapes, 11 are essential amino acids, including 7 kinds of amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize.

With respect to general nutrients, scientists have performed analyses on, and comparisons of, edible seaweed types. The crude protein content of sea grapes is 17.83%, higher than edible kelp (8.7%) and sea lettuce (15.6%). Sea grapes also have a higher crude protein content compared to land-grown vegetables, whose averages are 1.8% for leafy greens, 0.91% for fruits and vegetables, and 1.40% of grains and roots vegetables. Long-term consumption of sea grapes can promote anti-oxidation, blood purification, beauty, and immunity. It can also delay the aging process, activate brain cells and foster other beneficial effects. For vegetarians, it can also make up for the shortage of protein owing to the lack of protein in other vegetarian foods, maintain mineral and nutritional balance, and supplement physical strength. Compared to high-grade caviar or other healthy foods, sea grapes are richer in nutrients!

Our sea grapes are divided into two categories:

1. Fresh sea grapes: no need to reconstitute before eating. Intended for restaurants and hotels.

2. Salted Sea grapes: need to be reconstituted before eating. Intended for end consumers.
