How good are seaweed snacks!? But just like everything in the nutrition world, not all seaweed snacks are created equal. You see, food brands have a habit of taking something as healthy as seaweed and adding loads of salt, preservatives, MSG and other artificial flavours. This is such a shame if you ask us because amongst other health benefits, seaweed is a great source of iodine, and important trace mineral. Iodine plays a pivotal role in thyroid health, metabolism, energy and healthy hair, just to name a few, so we should be getting more of this naturally where we can!
Here are some of our favourite options when it comes to enjoying the benefits of seaweed as close to its natural state as possible:
1. Ceres Organic Seaweed Snacks
Unlike many other seaweed snacks on the market, the Ceres Organics Seaweed Snacks contain no artificial flavours or preservatives and instead are naturally seasoned for a healthy savoury snack option for when you're in the mood for something salty. They also come in a variety of delicious flavours and convenient portion-controlled packs.
2. Spiral Foods Organic Instant Miso Soup
Who doesn't love a quick and easy soup you can whip up with just the addition of hot water. The Spiral Organics Instant Miso Soup is one of the very few on the market that are approved by our picky team of nutritionists. It simply contains organic brown rice miso, barley miso, wakame and kombu sea vegetables.
3. Mary's Super Seed Crackers - Seaweed & Black Sesame
Organic and gluten-free, these morish crackers are sure to hit the spot when you feel like something crispy and savoury. Mary's Super Seed Crackers are packed full of flavour and the goodness of a variety of different whole grains and seeds, they make a great addition to your favourite healthy dips.
4. Gimme Seaweed
Organic, GMO-friendly and made with just a handful of simple ingredients, these roasted seaweed snacks are lightly flavoured with just a pinch of salt to ensure you're getting the nutritional goodness of seaweed and nothing else.
