#kelp krunch

I took a 2-part online Seaweed Class through Backcountry Press, and our instructor sent us a class resource page. I revisited it for the book recommendations but I saw that she included some websites of small business that sell ethically harvested seaweed products.

This Sea Vegetable Sample Kit from Main Coast Sea Vegetables is quite charming! I've been searching for dried seaweeds at my local Korean market but the packaging rarely lists the species type, so the scientific names give me reference for my own culinary research.

Ugh! And this Kelp Krunch bar is kind of adorable. I have no idea how it would taste but I think I might like it. I also feel like this is the type of snack that would scare the wrong people away, if that was your goal. Like if someone is in your space or won't leave you alone, you can pull out the Kelp Krunch and start crunching and say, "sorry, I hope my seaweed breath doesn't bother you!" and they'll promptly leave and think it was their idea. I am super curious about the kit/this snack and I might want to get it for myself for Christmas.

Change of pace today. I picked up this sesame bar for the awesome whale/kelp package. This bar's deal is they love whales so the bar sales go to whale awareness/rescue groups. The bar itself is basically a big sesame snap with dried kelp thrown into it. It was thinker than a snap, not too brittle or too sweet. Excellent sweet and salty flavour. Both subtle and in a great mix. Way better than a sesame snap, pretty filling and great texture/flavour. 3 bars! 🍫🍫🍫
