Meet the grinder 💪⚙️🌊 This industrial grinder at GreenWave’s processing plant takes whole kelp blades and shreds them into smaller, manageable pieces ready for stabilization. Why does that matter? Because stabilized kelp (whether blanched, dried, fermented, or frozen) doesn’t spoil—which means farmers can store it, sell it year-round, and reach more buyers beyond the short spring harvest window.
