Last month I tried Sea’s Gift roasted seaweed. This time I sampled Sea’s Gift sweet seaweed. Aside from the sugar flavor, the main difference is that this sweet variant is shredded and contains sesame seeds. It would ideally be used as a topping, but I used a spoon to scoop it out of the deep plastic tray.
Sea’s Gift Sweet Seaweed Snack. Korean Kim (Nori). All Natural. No MSG. Roasted & Seasoned with Sesame Oil, Sea Salt & Organic Sugar.
And boy could you taste the sugar. It’s sweet, but not too sickening. I think that fact that the word “organic” appears before sugar lets you feel less guilty about indulging in it.
Whereas the roasted variant has only three ingredients (seaweed, sesame oil, sea salt), this one has five.
Ingredients: seaweed, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sea salt, organic cane juice
So the sugar comes in the form of organic cane juice!
Ingredients also given in French: Agues, Huile de sesame, Graine de sesame, Sel de mer, Sucre organique.
Explanation on the back about what the product is. “Kim is Korean seaweed — what the Japanese call nori. Sea’s Gift Sweet Seaweed Snack is all natural, roasted in sesame oil and lightly salted and sweetened.”
Similar suggestions on how to use it. Eat traditional style with rice ball and spice. Or snack on like potato chips! Use in salads. Add to soup. Try as pizza topping!

The nutrition facts are practically a carbon copy of what JayOne provided on the back of their roasted seaweed. No sugar? Now that is suspect…
