We've got (sea)WEED!
At a recent event at Fork Food Lab (our Portland packing location), we got the chance to meet Tara Treichel of SeaMade, a seaweed snack bar company. We fell in love with both the story and the treats that are making their way into your shares this week.
SeaMade aims to serve health-conscious consumers by providing education and convenient access to seaweed through tasty foods and other seaweed products. SeaMade is committed to socially responsible business and environmental sustainability and donates a percentage of profits to ocean conservation. A bit more of Tara's story in her own words:
"As a health-conscious, active person, I seek foods that are nutritious, taste great, and make me feel good in body and mind. I was amazed to discover the clean taste and nutrient-packed goodness of seaweed while guiding kayak trips along our northern coastline.
I started SeaMade in 2015, with the goal of bringing the tasty, nutritious goodness of Maine seaweed to health-minded consumers everywhere. Like many people, I was a big fan of seaweed in foods like nori snacks and seaweed salad, but I was concerned that virtually all of the seaweed foods available in the US are imported from Asia. While I loved their flavor and nutritional value, I wished we had more options produced closer to home, made with seaweed harvested from our clean northern waters.
Loaded with vitamins & minerals, healthy fats, fiber, and just the right balance of simple sugars and complex carbs, our unique recipe is designed to leave you feeling satiated and satisfied. And, in keeping with our motto, “Feel good energy from land and sea”, an added benefit is that kelp is an environmentally friendly food source, as it requires no land, irrigation, added fertilizer, or pesticides. On behalf of SeaMade, I am delighted to share our bars with you, and hope they leave you feeling good!"
If you love, love, love 'em, SeaMade bars are available at select stores in the greater Portland area and beyond, or delivered straight to your door! Order at www.seamadeseaweed.com and receive 20% off your first order using code Family Dinner.
