Welcome back!
A couple of weeks ago, I came across seaweed snacks at Target. I've been seeing a lot of stuff about seaweed snacks over the last couple of years in movies and social media and stuff, so I've been feeling the urge to try them.
I love seaweed. It's great when it's in sushi, and I loooove it in my ramen. When my boyfriend and I go out for ramen, he always gives me the slice of seaweed he gets in his bowl :D
There were a few different brands of seaweed snacks, but this is the one that sounded the best.
Because I had never tried seaweed in this type of format, I wanted to make sure to give it the best shot possible. For this specific brand, there were three different flavors, and I of course got all of them. But the first one I tried was the teriyaki flavor (above) because I figured it would have the best chance of me liking it.
They are so salty and delicious! They are definitely seaweed, so if you don't care for the texture or flavor of seaweed, I do not recommend these.
I love them, though. Super tasty! The teriyaki flavor is very present and works nicely with the flavor of the seaweed.
The texture is every so slightly crunchy, but not like a chip. It can be a really enjoyable experience.
I also wanted to try the regular sea salt seaweed snacks. I mean..... it's just plan sea salt. I had to give it a shot.
By themselves, I don't care for these as much. However, I decided to add them into some ramen I made, and I really enjoyed it. It's not as thick as a piece of seaweed you would usually get in a restaurant, so it didn't work as well as normal seaweed would have, but it was still really nice. For never having seaweed at home, it was nice to have some I could add to my ramen.
I also got a flavor that's sea salt made with avocado oil. It's basically the same as the regular sea salt.
One big downside to the two sea salt flavors (but not teriyaki), is how much oil leaks off of them. It's not the end of the world, but it definitely is a bit of an annoyance. Especially because the oil is literally ALL OVER the entire packaging.
Something I'm looking forward to doing is crumpling some of these up and putting them over some dishes (like a salmon and rice dish I make from time to time that has a sauce made up soy sauce and sushi mayo). I think it would be a really nice added bonus to that dish. It could be a good crunch!
One thing to note is that if you are snacking on these to fill up your belly, you'll be sorely disappointed. I can eat an entire package of these, and it's like I ate nothing. These are great if I just want some salt, but not great if I actually want to fill up my stomach.
I am gonna give these a 7/10. I think I'll probably keep them in hand going forward, specifically the teriyaki ones, because I just really enjoy them. And I love seaweed.
If you like the flavor of seaweed, then you'll probably really like these. I say give them a shot!
Alright, I will see you guys on the next one!
Bye!
