Allow me, if you will, to suggest a new food option for
consideration, when it is time for a snack: SEAWEED! For the initiated, seaweed
is often associated with sushi, most of us have seen this in a restaurant at
least once. The traditional rice-filled, seaweed wrapped entrée, which contains
at its core a small portion of sushi. This is a great use for seaweed and how a
lot of people picture seaweed, when they think about it as a food item.
Seaweed, however, makes a great snack, with or without the
rice and sushi. Seaweed is a very versatile source of food. The abundance of
seaweed and different methods of preparation possibilities make it an ideal
choice for those looking to expand their understanding of the word ‘snack’.
Recently, I became aware of a brand of packaged seaweed: SeaSnax. This is a brand that offers lightly flavored seaweed, seasoned using
(appropriately) sea salt, among other amazing spice combinations. Recently, we
have had the opportunity to partner with this company and review many of their
snack creations, our review contains Seaweed snack items, both in roasted
strips and a crunchier chip-style offering. Both forms are an extremely healthy
and wonderfully different departure from the notoriously unhealthy and
massively abundant ‘traditional’ snacks, which rule the shelves in nearly every
convenience store, grocery store, and even gas station.
Seaweed is inherently healthy. These snacks are created with
this in mind. The preservation of the healthier aspect of seaweed is preserved
in the preparation of these snacks, and proudly displayed on the package. From
using “100 olive oil” to resisting the common practice of preparing using
secondary ingredients which contain, among other non-beneficial ingredients,
Cholesterol, Gluten, Trans-fats, manufactured sugars, etc... SeaSnax seaweed
snack options are free of the ingredients which contain these unhealthy additives.
What you are left with a surprisingly flavorful taste experience which is as
guilt-free as it is tasty.
The actual flavor of these snacks is surprisingly amazing.
Using the most pure ingredients and preparation techniques, SeaSnax have
crafted a snack option which is refined, tastes AWESOME, and promotes healthy snacking that remains 100% natural, GMO-free, and supportive to all diets,
whether an individual is trying to lose some extra weight, or is Vegan. The
packaging is versatile, easily fitting into your purse or gym back, desk
drawer, or pantry storage.
The roasted seaweed strips are very thin, they taste amazing,
and the strips melt in your mouth rather then crumbling and breaking apart.
There are many flavors available, my personal favorite is chipotle. The
necessary spices are present. The chipotle seasoning is perfect, perhaps the
best I have had. The jalapeno flavor is another option I enjoyed greatly.
Wasabi ended up being my second choice, the true wasabi experience is present
and 100% authentic. It is not overwhelming and, as a good wasabi should, it
peaks as soon as it enters your mouth, rapidly subsiding in intensity. All of
the flavors were true to their core seaweed experiences yet bring a distinctive
flavor experience based on the season used to flavor them.
The Chomperz Chips are a different experience that the
strips. These are ‘chips’ of seaweed, which is not ground itself, rather it is
encrusted with ground rice. This gives an amazing chip experience. Rice is so
fluffy yet satisfyingly crunchy. Each chip is balanced in flavor and spice.
These truly are an excellent alternative to traditional chips. Barbeque was a
pleasant surprise, I am accustomed to the unnamed BBQ chips, which are
overloaded with a flavor that is decidedly NOT barbeque. The SeaSnax barbeque
flavored chips are subtly flavored. It is bold, as BBQ should be, but not
overwhelming. This will certainly be a crowd favorite. The jalapeno flavor chip
is perfectly balanced without containing a huge amount of heat yet capturing
the quintessential jalapeño flavor that you are sure to enjoy and appreciate.
Each snack was a seaweed-faithful, surprisingly favorable,
and slightly addictive experience which will leave your taste buds satisfied. One reader will receive a
variety package containing the strips and chips in many flavors, including
those mentioned in this review. Everyone else deserves to try this snack for
themselves. A healthy alternative to a stale (pun intended) and otherwise
largely unhealthy snack market.
