Akua’s Kelp Burgers Get the SpongeBob Treatment to Support Nickelodeon’s Operation Sea Change

Akua, a New York-based company known for creating the “world’s first” kelp burger, has partnered with Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants to introduce kid-friendly Kelp Patties. Available in Original and BBQ flavors, the slider-sized patties aim to make eco-friendly eating more appealing to children. The collaboration aligns with Nickelodeon’s Operation Sea Change initiative, which seeks to promote ocean sustainability by leveraging SpongeBob’s popularity and Akua’s commitment to regenerative ocean-farmed foods.

Akua specializes in creating meat and seafood alternatives using kelp, a highly sustainable and nutrient-rich crop that requires minimal resources to grow. The company’s Kelp Patties offer a tasty and nutritious option for kids while contributing to the health of both children and the oceans. Akua has seen success in securing funding and continues to innovate in the plant-based food space, with a focus on whole foods and clean eating as the new frontier in alternative protein.
