WHY ARCTICA FOOD'S SEA CUCUMBER
The Imperial Secret
There are more than 1,000 species of sea cucumber around the globe. What makes the Canadian one so special?
The Canadian sea cucumber has the scientific name of Cucumaria frondosa, but since it can be found in the North Atlantic Ocean to the Arctic Ocean, it is also called the Arctic sea cucumber. From these cold and pristine waters, the sea cucumber grows slowly and takes up to three years to reach maturity. All our sea cucumbers are wild caught, following Fisheries and Oceans Canada's strict fishing policies, which yields specimens much older than three years, and thus ensures the sustainability of the species and preservation of the natural environment.
For our premium grades, we use fresh sea cucumbers that are gutted, cleaned, and fully dried to optimize the state of the nutrients. Our sea cucumber is packed with amino acids, vitamin B's, D, E, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, etc. Actually, it is so nutritious, that we continue to discover new health applications all the time. Our sea cucumber is high in protein, low in sodium once rehydrated, extra lean and free of fats. It is truly a Superfood!
Since this seafood has been consumed, popularized, and are best understood in Asian countries, especially in China, we focused our product development to target the preferences of the Chinese consumers. We made sure to create a healthy food that is also enjoyable to eat. The thickness of the meat and the bounciness of the tendons give the perfect balance between the chewiness of the calamari and the meltiness of lard, with a mild taste of the sea.
