One of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet, seaweed has
been a staple of the healthy Asian diet for hundreds of years. In
addition to being a great source of vitamins A, B, C, E and K,
seaweed is rich iodine, selenium, and iron and can contain up to 10
times more calcium than milk. Seaweed has also been linked to a
variety of health benefits, including preventing osteoporosis,
improving insulin resistance, and helping control cholesterol and
managing weight.
"Given the incredible reception of our Ocean's Halo Seaweed
Chips over the last 18 months it was only natural to expand our
product offerings to retailers and consumers." said Robert Mock, co-founder of Ocean's Halo. "We are
now in over 2000 retail locations throughout the U.S and
Canada with our Ocean's Halo
Seaweed Chips and we expect our Seaweed Snacks to match this
growing distribution wave. Molly Stones Markets in the Bay Area was
our first customer back in 2013 and we look forward to them
carrying our new Ocean's Halo Seaweed Snacks this spring."
