These puffed chips satisfy any and all savory snack cravings. They come in a variety of interesting flavors, including new truffle and cheddar varieties, and are very light. Plus, they come in sustainable packaging and have the added health benefits of kelp, an antioxidant powerhouse, without any "sea-like" flavor.

I enjoyed trying the kelp chips as a healthy chip alternative. They were nice and crunchy but did have a bit of a fishy aftertaste. I loved that they are grain free. 

I was surprised at how much I liked these --- I've tried other kelp snacks in the pat and been underwhelmed. Found these to be exceptionally crunchy, and the everything flavor is fantastic.

Great flavor!  Love that this is a healthier alternative to the everyday greasy chip!  These are not greasy like the other chips on the market,  

These are delicious! They're a really great snack to have around for that quick fix of crunch and umami. Also, the first ingredient in their chips is in fact kelp. Figured that was worth a mention, since I've definitely seen snacks that advertise a special, key ingredient only for it to be minimally used in the actual product.

Huge fan! They are both very nutrient-dense & also delicious snacks that allow you to inhale without any guilt. Love their mission and the popularization of seaweed across the board, but find their flavors (esp like the everything flavor) marries well with the savory taste of seaweed.

I think the packaging is only commercially compostable, which means unless you are in the habit of going to your municipal compost facility semi-often, you probably have to trash it. Still appreciate the effort!

This is not normally my type of snack, but these are so tasty! They're air puffed almost? And crispy? And curved for scooping and dipping? Anyways, I'm hungry.
