Sea vegetables are beneficial for being rich in iodine, minerals and fiber but sometimes they are difficult to work into meals as ingredients but these frozen seaweed cubes for pan-frying are not a challenge to incorporate into meals. Zalg's IO'DÉS cubes are made from Breton macro-algae and they boast a crispy texture once fried.
The easy-to-use seaweed cubes are ready to be incorporated into a wide range of dishes to add both umami flavor, texture and nutritional benefits. These quick-cooking cubes are based on Kombu Royal or Wakame and they promise to enhance veggies, salads or aperitifs, quickly and easily, from frozen on demand.
The SIAL Innovation 2022 awards of the international food exhibition recently named Zalg a Gold Award winner for IO'DÉS.
