The Seaweed
Seaweed is known by many in the Far East, and increasingly more people around the world, for its important health and nutritional benefits. A key health benefit is that Seaweed is a source of Iodine, and Tyrosine, which support cognitive and nervous system functions. Iodine, commonly found in dairy and meat products, is particularly important if you are on a vegan or vegetarian diet. A nutritious diet is packed full of vitamins and minerals, and Seaweed is a great source of vitamins A, C E and K, as well as folate, zinc, sodium, calcium, and magnesium.

The  Tapioca
Tapioca is a starch extracted from the Cassava plant and is a great for a gluten-free and wheat-free diet. Being a ‘resistant starch’ means that it feeds healthy gut bacteria to the gut, which helps reduce inflammation and increase fullness.

How to enjoy this seaweed?
Our Seaweed Crisps are ideal for when you need a snack to accompany your sandwich at lunch, or for when you’re on-the-go. They can even be sprinkled over salads and soups to create an extra crunch!  If you’re feeling creative, you could make fun rice balls with them or savoury granola. 

Heritage
Around the world there are 145 species of Seaweed used as food, people in the Far East, especially in coastal areas, have eaten seaweed for centuries as part of their daily diet. Tapioca has been used widely by South East Asian cultures, and in modern times too, for instance tapioca pearls are an essential ingredient of bubble tea.

1% for the planet
Abakus has joined forces with 1% for the Planet and will be donating 1% of our Seaweed Crisp sales to charities in support of environmental causes. By buying the crisps you are giving back to the planet.
