Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Cancer doesn't run in my family, so I'm totally happy to enjoy this radioactive seaweed. Facetiousness aside, it tastes fantastic and the stickers put on seaweed products are because California laws will warn of lead and arsenic pollution that exists in the ocean as a whole. This seaweed is sourced in Korea and as such in that peninsula between China and Japan it is extremely far from sources of pollution. It might look close on a map, but it's hundreds of miles and with a lot of clean currents running through the East China Sea / Sea of Japan. I'm disappointed in how quickly consumers are scared away with an honest sticker, while they eat genetically modified fruits and vegetables full of pesticides (that by law don't need a warning sticker). Idiots. Anyway, seaweed is highly nutritious and good for you. As long as you don't source it in Tijuana, Mexico or the Ganges river you'll be ok. As for the product, it's flavorful and covered in the good stuff, that white crystallized carbohydrate / salt / minerals (Mannit) that gives the deep taste. Add a bit of kombu to any soup for extra nutrition, to beans to prevent gas (somehow helps you digest those macro-carbohydrates), and of course dashi broth which is what I use it for. Have ordered this brand for years and can only say it is great for your health, and a great hangover / sick day cure (dashi broth). My advice is beware of synthetic or genetically altered chemical foods before worrying about seaweeds, as they are one of the healthiest foods you can consume; dulse, waukame, nori, kombu, get it in your diet for good health.
