While people are used to seeing kimchi jars that are filled with cabbage and fermented vegetables, Atlantic Sea Farms is putting a unique twist on this staple Korean food with sustainably grown seaweed. The first ingredient in the brand's Sea-Chi is raw kelp, followed by napa cabbage and other popular vegetables and seasonings like radish, garlic, fish sauce, scallions and red pepper powder. The hand-crafted Sea-Chi is said to have a taste that's piquant, thanks to the use of perfectly balanced spices.
