Annie Chun's Debuts Seaweed Crisps

Widely known as the pioneer of the Seaweed Snack, Annie Chun's has launched its latest innovation—Seaweed Crisps—just in time for summer barbecues and road trips. The savory, better-for-you option is crunchworthy and available in three varieties to satisfy every snacker's palate. "Seaweed has quickly become a green, go-to, low calorie food that's packed with nutrients, including being high in vitamin C," said Nayoung Shin, CJ Foods head of marketing. "Annie Chun's new Seaweed Crisps bring more innovation to the snack aisle by layering our best-selling Seaweed Snacks on top of hearty and crispy brown rice then oven-baking them to perfection, which makes them very appealing to consumers looking to satisfy their crunch cravings while incorporating seaweed into their diets." The crunchy Seaweed Crisps, which have suggested retail price of $3.49, have only 80 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per serving. In addition to being a gluten-free food, they are available in three tasty flavors: Original, which is seasoned with a dash of salt; Cinnamon, which is sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar; and Gochujang, which is flavored with Gochujang, a traditional Korean hot sauce, to offer the perfect combination of sweet and spicy taste. Annie Chun's is a producer of gourmet Pan-Asian foods dedicated to providing consumers with simple, convenient meal solutions that help take the mystery out of Asian cooking and inspire consumers to become confident in the kitchen. In 2005, Annie Chun's forged a strategic partnership with CJ, a food company with expertise in Asian foods, bringing authentic flavors and the finest ingredients together so that at-home cooks can give their families the best. The complete line of innovative, premium goods provide a variety of vegan, vegetarian, organic and gluten-free options, offering choices for consumers with dietary restrictions or preferences. Annie Chun's noodles, sauces, soups, seaweed snacks, potstickers, wontons and rice are available nationwide in gourmet, natural and mass market grocers.
