Culinary Uses
Seaweed Flakes are incredibly versatile and can be integrated into a variety of dishes. Here’s how you can use them:

Soups and Stews
Add Edible Seaweed Flakes to your soups and stews to enhance the flavour and nutrient content. As they rehydrate and soften, they infuse the dish with a subtle oceanic flavour, enriching your culinary creations.

Salads
Sprinkle Seaweed Flakes over your salads for a nutrient boost and a hint of umami. They pair wonderfully with fresh greens and vinaigrettes, adding texture and depth to your salads.

Grain Dishes
Mix Seaweed Flakes into rice, quinoa, or couscous. They rehydrate easily and blend seamlessly, turning ordinary grain dishes into flavourful, nutritious meals.

Pasta and Noodles

Seaweed Powder: The 'On' Enhancer

Nutritional Boost
Our Seaweed Powder is also made from 100% edible seaweed, ground to a fine powder for easy integration into your diet. It’s a convenient way to add a concentrated dose of nutrients to any meal.

Culinary Uses
Seaweed Powder is a versatile ingredient that can be used in numerous ways to enhance your dishes. Here are some ideas:

Smoothies
Add a teaspoon of Edible Seaweed Powder to your smoothies for an extra health punch. It blends well with fruits and vegetables, providing a hidden boost of nutrients without overpowering the flavours.
