SeaSnax Review/Giveaway

When you hear the word; snack. What do think about directly afterword? Is it a term to describe a smaller portion of food between meals? Perhaps ‘snack’ means meal, more often than not? Maybe you picture your favorite brand of chips, a leftover portion of the meal from the night before? Snack is a commonly used term, the meaning of which is purely subjective to the person who says it.

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.
