'Weed and Wonderful' sets itself apart by making a range of culinary products that aim to prove "seaweed isn’t weird, it’s wonderful,” and that it is so much more than just a Chinese or Japanese delicacy.
The seaweed-based product range includes a number of uniquely infused oils, such as the Intense Smoked Seaweed Oil and the Pure Scottish Seaweed Infused Oil, as well as the vegan supplement Organic Scottish Seaweed Capsules.
Seaweed is often touted as "the food of the future," as a single teaspoon is an incredibly rich source of iodine and provides as much iron as 120 grams of spinach and the same amount of calcium as 60 milliliters of whole milk. As well as supporting many functions of the body, seaweed is incredibly sustainable, as it requires no land for growth.
