Kelp is one of the most sustainable plants in the world. Not only do kelp forests thrive without the use of pesticides and fertilizers, they also support carbon sequestration, promote biodiversity, buffer ocean acidification, and improve water quality. I've had seaweed-based snacks before, so I was very excited to try out Snacks from the Sea, which supports these incredible ecosystems by creating nutrient-dense, kelp-based snacks that are harvested sustainably to ensure a vibrant ecosystem while supporting a lifestyle of health and happiness.
The brand has a fun story - founder Jennifer's mother sent her dried kelp, a traditional healthy food in Korea, and when Jennifer never got around to making it, her mother sent some again - this time as a chip. These kelp chips are great - they're convenient to eat, tasty, with a satisfying crunch. Kelp is an extremely nutrition ingredient, which contains vitamins, minerals, and an antioxidant, all of which have great health benefits. The chips come in three flavors - Zesty Pizza, Chipotle, and Salt & Pepper. Everyone in my family - even my picky younger daughter - liked the chips, and we'll definitely be looking to order more!
Apart from supporting vibrant human health, Snacks from the Sea also benefits marine ecosystems. Snacks from the Sea works directly with Korean farmers to harvest kelp from large, sustainable underwater forests. Their kelp farmers are part of an eco-friendly cooperative that was one of the first kelp producers to receive an ASC-MSC seaweed certification. This certification means their operations have demonstrated proven success at minimizing environmental impact, and that employees and the community are being cared for. ASC-MSC-certified operations are monitored based on five criteria: sustainable wild populations, environmental impacts, effective management, social responsibility, and community relations and interactions.
“In Korea, kelp has been used as a remedy for thousands of years,” said Snacks from the Sea founder Jennifer Murphy. “In creating Snacks from the Sea, I wanted to share the amazing benefits of this nutrient powerhouse with people across the United States. In doing so, we are also supporting marine ecosystems that sequester carbon. Our kelp-based products are a win for snackers and a win for the planet.”
From sea to snack, Snacks from the Sea’s kelp-based products are sustainably sourced directly from the sea, then lightly fried with delicious natural seasonings to create the perfect crunchy kelp to eat with a favorite dip, crumbled for a salad or soup topper, or carried in a backpack for clean energy on the trail.
Snacks from the Sea can be purchased on Amazon.
