Key features

• •ALASKAN RED: This legendary sea cucumber is prized for its spikes, distinct red exterior, and fleshy texture. The Alaskan Red can most commonly be found in the southeast coastal waters of Alaska, but also grow in natural habitats along the western US coast.
• •SIZE: SeaBenefit Medium Alaskan Red Sea Cucumbers range in length from 3-5.5 inches. When fully hydrated, these sea cucumbers will increase in volume by 3-5 times. Larger sea cucumbers generally have a denser consistency and better absorb flavors from sauces and dishes. For preparation instructions, see the product description.
• •NATURAL: All SeaBenefit sea cucumbers are wild-caught, and U.S Fish and Wildlife service approved. All of our products are processed, distributed, and sold in the U.S.
