Sea's Gift Seaweed Snack

Eat green, get lean.

We know what you're thinking: You want me to eat what?

Hear us out.

You already enjoy seaweed (nori) wrapped around your favorite sushi roll. Now, new research reveals that seaweed contains a type of fiber that may reduce fat uptake by more than 75%.

Sea's Gift Seaweed Snack ($18.90 for a pack of 24) contains only three ingredients: Seaweed, sesame oil and sea salt. The paper-thin sheets are rich, crunchy and startlingly addictive. It tastes like the ocean--you get a hit of salt water, but it's not too fishy.

It comes in perfectly portioned 25-calorie packs that provide 35% of your daily requirement of immunity-boosting vitamin A, 20% of your vitamin C needs, plus iron and calcium. It's great as a snack or tossed in soups and salads, but our favorite way to eat it is sprinkled over a bowl of brown rice and scrambled eggs for a nearly instant meal.

Find it at select Whole Foods or order it here.

Sea about it.
