Despite the common perception of seaweed being fishy, one innovative brand has successfully shattered this stereotype by creating decadent and delicious dessert-inspired Daily Seaweed Bites that showcase how this type of algae can be a delectable ingredient when combined with other flavors.
Rootless' Daily Seaweed Bites are not just sweet snacks, they're also ready to be consumed as "a delicious alternative to your iodine supplement." In fact, each bite boasts 60% of the recommended daily dose of iodine, plus more than 40 nutrients and bioactives.
Joining decadent flavors like Orange Pistachio, Red Velvet and Coconut Chai are two new flavors: Cacao Crunch and Toasted Hazelnut. In these decadent bites, seaweed comes together with ingredients like dates, almonds and seeds to support energy, thyroid functions and a healthy metabolism.
