Natural, organic, plant-based foods are trending for those who want healthier alternatives for snacking. I discovered Sea Snax, a great new way to taste sea vegetables for people of all ages.
We’ve reviewed skincare that is seaweed-centric such as those from companies like Phytomer, who use seaweed to enhance the benefits of their products.
But what about enhancing the health and beauty of your inside?
sheets of Nori seaweed
Seasnax is a Korean company with four different seaweed product lines: SeaSnax Sheets ($8.95), Chomperz ($4.99) , SeaVegi ($7.99), and SeaMama ($6-$8).
Roasted seaweed snacks may seem a bit strange at first. However, sushi lovers already are familiar with Nori, the classic sushi wrap of seaweed. If you’ve ever had a seaweed salad you also know how flavorful and delicious “sea vegetables” can be.
Seaweed is a staple in many Asian diets and it’s quickly catching on in the United States. it’s rich in minerals such as iodine, calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper and selenium. Seasnax are also Whole 30, Paleo, gluten-free, and Keto friendly.
The sustainably harvested organic seaweed that goes into SeaSnax is called porphyra, red algae or deep purple laver, also referred to as nori in Japan and kim in Korea.
Snack on SeaSnax Sheets
The Original Classic SeaSnax sheets (also available in smaller single serve “to go” strips, have a roasted nutty taste which is really quite delicious with no sugar and low sodium.
Kids will love them not just for the taste, but because they are unique. You can crunch up the sheet, or rip little pieces off it, or eat in any way you want.
Since the SeaSnax are roasted and dry and super lightweight and in airtight packages, they’re great for travel.
Try also crunching some up into a sandwich or salad.
Chomperz are Chips
Chomperz are seaweed chips in various flavors. Rice flour is fused to a piece of Nori, and seasonings are added for more fun.
1/2 oz or half a package is just 40 calories My favorite is the Wasabi. But there’s also chipotle, onion and jalapeno, BBQ.
You’ll like the nutty taste of the original, but the other flavors will entice kids, and for dipping chips and more.
Other SeaSnax Products
SeaSnax Sea Veggi and Sea Mamma are also seaweed, but more for cooking, not “snacking.”
Giving Back
The company gives back 10% of their annual net profit to non-profit organizations committed to making the world a better and gentler place for our children and our earth.
