Rootless Reviews

3.0

Rootless reviews assert the brand works as a charming, nutrient-forward seaweed bite with consistently praised packaging and some users reporting measurable iodine and iron benefits; however, many reviews call out uneven, often dry or soapy flavors and rapid staling. This helps buyers who value sustainable, whole-food supplements and elegant presentation but warns flavor, texture, and shelf-stability may make it a limited, niche daily choice.

    I have iodine deficiency (thyroid struggle is real) and usually I have to sprinkle seaweed 🌊🌿 on everything I eat which isn’t always a flavor I want to experience haha. It’s so nice to get most of my iodine in a natural way in one delicious bite. Will report back in a few weeks! Reporting back after 22 days, as promised. My iodine levels are good and my iron went up a bit which is fantastic and curious. 🥼🩺 I feel less fatigued and my skin is less dry 🌟 - I haven't changed anything else in my life significantly. BONUS: I have tried all 3 flavors of rootless and here's my expert and entirely personal opinion:😋 1. pistachio orange 2. coconut chai (pro tip: let the bites aerate for a few minutes after first open) 3. strawberry

    Founder mentioned she's already working on this but would love an option without allergens (sesame seeds).

    I ordered the double strawberry flavor and I think they taste nice. It’s sweet, salty and honestly a little decadent. Only a slight hint of seaweed. The texture is akin to a dried fruit or date and nut bar which I personally love but is something to keep in mind. The metal tin they come in is stunning and I look forward to reusing it for something else once I finish the supplements. Overall I like the taste, texture and packaging but I personally will be following the companies suggestion of eating one in the evening as a sweet treat rather than in the morning with my other vitamins because these are 40 calories for one which is much higher than any other vitamin/supplement I’ve tried. *editing to say that I was super busy and didn’t finish them for 60 days and they did dry out quite a bit and lose a lot of their flavor. If you are buying them definitely try to use them within 30 days.

    Selling a larger size container for couples, roommates, families would prevent having to buy multiple tins each month which takes up a large amount of cabinet/counter space. *Also after realizing they dry out if not used up within 30 days I would suggest a more air right packaging solution.

    Picked these up during a #thingdrop and have been pleasantly surprised how charming these little things are in the morning with my coffee. I'm not much of a breakfast person during the work week, so these are perfect little bite to start the day. I love that I can just keep them on my desk. I remember reading a New Yorker article a few years ago about how seaweed (or was it kelp? are they the same thing?) could revolutionize food consumption, waste, hunger, etc. so I totally buy what Rootless is selling.

    I will say the taste and texture reminds me of the "dessert" I was once served on a Russian airline in that it is not sweet and the texture is literally dirty--that of dirt. But they are cute! I like them!

    Ordered this through ThingDrop and was excited to try it. Flavor sounded good, packaging and branding is gorgeous. However I was a bit underwhelmed by the actual product. I thought it smelled like a freshly unwrapped fruit by the foot, however tasted really off. It was dry and underwhelming. I will caveat this that I don't love seaweed snacks, so there's something there. But boy did these smell great. I do love the sustainability mission with the ingredients and the refill product.

    I found that it was hard to take the bites themselves out of the box they came in. On the taste side, I really would love for them to taste as good as they smelled. I was bummed for sure.
