Healthy snacks company introduces Seaweed
Crisps with ‘real crunch’ London-based healthy snacks company Abakus Foods has introduced Seaweed Crisps with a real crunch! The Seaweed Crisps are made of seaweed harvested from the seas of South Korea and
coated with a thin layer of crunchy tapioca to create the crunchiest seaweed snack. Seasoned with three flavours - Lightly Salted, Salt & Vinegar, and Cheese Flavour – these crisps are made without any ‘nasties' and are gluten-free, vegan and only contain about 100 calories per bag. Harnessing the power of natural foods, the Seaweed Crisps combine nutritious seaweed with
wholesome tapioca to offer a snack with health benefits. Seaweed is known for its vitamin and mineral content and is a source of iodine which helps support cognitive function and functioning of the nervous system. Tapioca, extracted from the roots of the cassava plant, is a "resistant starch" which feeds the friendly gut-bacteria to the gut, thereby reducing inflammation and increasing fullness. You can enjoy this guilt-free snack as part of your lunch, as an afternoon pick-me-up, in lunch
boxes, to take on travels, and it can be even enjoyed sprinkled on salads and soups to add flavour. Being part of the 1% For The Planet Program means that 1% of sales from this range goes towards charities in support of environmental causes. Helen Wang, Abakus Foods’ founder and director said: “We created this range out of our love
for the nutritious seaweed. Feedback has been amazing and people keep coming back for more. Being a natural foods brand, we embrace the wholesome, delicious, and nutritious foods that nature provides us with. And we are honoured to be collaborating with “1% For The Planet Program” to give back to the planet and donate 1% of sales to environmental causes. We are super excited to be finally sharing them with you." The Seaweed Crisps have an RRP of £1.29 per bag.
Who is Abakus Foods? Abakus Foods helps people discover and harness the power of natural foods. This London- based health food start-up was launched in 2016 by Helen Wang, who was working long hours in London’s finance and her health was deteriorating. Her mum sent her care parcels containing the jujube fruit to help with stress and told her to eat them every day. Jujube fruits are known for their adaptogenic properties to help reduce sensitivity to stress and improve sleep. They worked so well that Helen was converted and decided to bring them over here and make them available for everyone to enjoy. The idea for Abakus Foods was born. These days, Abakus Foods brings you savoury and sweet snacks made of natural ingredients and bursting in nutrients, to help you nourish your body on the go and be at your best.
