RIE LADEFOGED
Rie is born and raised on Læsø. After graduating on the mainland, Rie returned home to Læsø, where nature, the sea and the close relationships between the islanders play a crucial role in everyday life and quality of life.
Organic and healthy foods have always been on the dining table in Rie’s home, and the interest for seaweed as a food product was a natural consequence of the desire to contribute to sustainable production.
Rie founded Læsø Tang in 2014. The goal is to offer seaweed products that are harvested in one of the cleanest waters in Denmark and then hand-sorted, cleaned and dried at low temperatures, so that all the healthy minerals, vitamins and fats are preserved.
