Seaweed + Gimme 101
You've got questions...
What exactly is seaweed?
Seaweed is actually algae. In more appetizing words, it's a nutritious vegetable that grows in the sea (or, we like to say 'A miracle from the sea'). The specific variety of seaweed that we use to make our products is known as red seaweed.
What gives seaweed it's unique umami flavor?
Nature. Seaweed contains a lot of amino acids, like natural glutamic acid, which has umami flavor. It's this naturally salty-sweet flavor that makes seaweed taste so unique-and oh so good!
Is Gimme Seaweed organic?
Yes! All Gimme Seaweed products are certified organic by QAI, a USDA-accredited certifying agency.
Is organic healthier?
According to USDA data, organic foods have fewer pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce - but the amounts for both types of produce are within the level for safe consumption. From a macro and micronutrient perspective, organic and conventionally grown foods have a very similar nutrition profile. Source: Harvard Medical School
What specific type of seaweed are your products made from?
The scientific name is "Porphyra Yezonesis", a kind of red seaweed. There are 23 types of porphyra and porphyra yezonesis is the most delicious! After going through the roasting process, it provides a light and crispy.- "melt in your mouth" - taste experience.
Where is your seaweed grown?
Our seaweed is grown in USDA certified organic growing areas off the coast of South Korea. South Korea is historically known for producing the highest quality seaweed in the world.
Why do some seaweeds taste fishy and Gimme doesn't?
The key is using the highest quality seaweed possible and processing quickly after the harvest to preserve the fresh taste.
How are your snacks made?
Our seaweed is produced very simply. After the seaweed is harvested, we dry it, roast it with organic oils and seasoning and that's it!
What is the shelf-life of your seaweed?
One year.
Is your packaging recyclable?
Our trays are made of PET plastic, which is plastic #1 and can be recycled through most curbside recycling programs or with a local recycling center.
Our packaging wrappers are not recyclable. In an effort to offset this, we have started a long-term partnership with rePurpose to capture ocean-bound plastics and help keep our oceans healthy.
Is the silica pack inside the packaging safe if ingested?
The silica pack inside the packaging is not meant for consumption. However, if accidentally ingested, it is non-toxic.
