Fruit gummies are among the most popular sweets in Germany. Algae, on the other hand, remain largely absent from Western eating habits—despite their remarkable nutrient content and sustainable cultivation potential.

Alginis bridge this gap: these innovative, vegan fruit gummies combine a beloved snack format with the health benefits of microalgae. This makes algae more accessible and allows consumers to enjoy tasty, nutrient-rich gummies without guilt.
Alginis are available in three delicious flavors: Apple–Lemon, Apple–Ginger, Lime–Raspberry. Sweetened with agave syrup and flavored with real fruit juice, they are free from artificial additives. Their signature texture comes from agar-agar, a plant-based gelling agent derived from algae.
The included microalgae Chlorella and Spirulina provide valuable nutrients such as natural vitamin B12, iron, selenium, and other trace elements – making them a smart addition to a plant-based diet.

Each flavor variant is uniquely shaped, inspired by the natural forms of macroalgae. Visually uniform in a deep black color, the gummies measure approximately 3.5 cm and weigh 1.5 g per piece.
The packaging, made from cellophane and printed paper, features a minimalist black-and-white design and is fully biodegradable.
