Why choose seaweed over salt?

• Lower Sodium, Big Flavour: Seaweed contains significantly less sodium (about 1/7th) compared to salt, yet delivers just as much delicious flavour. It's a smart way to season your dishes while being mindful of your salt intake.

Simple Preparation Methods:

• Dried Seaweed: Simply wash and soak in hot water for 3 minutes before using.
• Salted Seaweed: A quick rinse is all it needs before cooking in boiling water for 2 minutes.
• Fresh Seaweed: Just give it a good rinse – it's ready to go!
