Foraged & Found's lineup of kelp pickles, salsa and sauces will soon expand to include two new kelp-fortified pasta sauces. Kelp Marinara Sauce and Spicy Arrabiata will join the brand's product portfolio soon, both sharing a nutritious way to elevate weeknight pasta meals.
While the classic marinara sauce infused with seaweed—wild Alaskan bullwhip sea kelp—shares a classic, comforting base of organic tomatoes and fresh herbs, the spicy arrabbiata fortified with superfood kelp is a rustic-style sauce with a hint of heat from organic red chili. With both of these pasta sauces, diners benefit from meals enhanced with electrolytes and trace minerals.
Seaweed-infused foods and beverages are gaining popularity due to their high nutrient density, sustainable harvesting practices and unique flavor profiles that enhance various dishes.
