Kelp is a true superfood that is one of our most sustainable food sources thanks to the quick rate at which it grows, so the AKUA Kelp Jerky is a new snack that looks to make use of this plentiful plant.
The snacks are free of soy, refined sugar, dairy and gluten, which makes them suitable for consumers who are on restrictive diets, while they also boast a nutrient-rich profile. The product contains vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E, while also featuring healthy levels of copper, iron, iodine, zinc, potassium and calcium. This makes the AKUA Kelp Jerky a beneficial snack that is more in line with consumer preferences for foods that are both healthy and sustainable.
