Disappointing product. NOT a salt alternative. I was led to the product by a rather convincing program showing people wading through seaweed. I tried a small package. It was virtually tasteless. Tried... See more

Shaker selection and Furinake...

Very prompt delivery after ordering. I’m glad I ordered the shaker set: a good introduction to the Mara range. The Furinake was used within five minutes of opening, a very moreish condiment.

Kombu seaweed powder

Kombu seaweed powder
I made a mushroom risotto using the recipe supplied with my order of Kombu seaweed powder. It was absolutely delicious and tasted as if I'd used expensive foraged mushrooms instead of cheap supermarket ones. A health benefit was that I used no salt whatsoever! I thoroughly recommend this product.

High Quality Product

Very efficient service. Product is expensive but high quality. The applewood smoked dulse is intensely savoury and very more-ish. I used it in savoury scones - wonderful! All the seaweed seasonings last for ages - a little goes a long way.

Mara seaweed is great

I ordered from France and made a mistake about the delivery address. Mara was very helpful and efficient. My mum received her present very quickly and now she is delighted with the seaweeds and the lovely tins.
Thanks you so much to everybody there. You're great!

Cookbook & shaker tins

The info. in the book will help me to extend my use of Mara products, beyond just sprinkling onto savoury dishes.
A special offer helped me decide to order the book as well as the set of shakers.

Great products, nice website site and fast delivery. I never thought I'd say that I enjoyed eating seaweed, but it's actually pretty good stuff

invoice

We are somewhat mystified by the entry on the invoice under 'fulfill items' that suggests £15.98 is to be paid on 23 February!

This is an delicious but expensive product. The website shop offers buying the product in either at 30 gram pouch of 120 gram tub. It does not state whether this is gross or net. I bought the tub as it seems like better value but actually the plastic tub is half empty and weighs a lot more than the pouch so it is not very good value in comparison. I was also told that if I gave my email address I would get free postage on my order. I did so but received no email with a code to give me free postage so all in all I don't think I would be repeating this order.

Reply from Mara Seaweed

Hi Fiona, thanks for your comments. The product weight is exclusive of the tub, tin or pouch: the 30g or 120g refers to the total weight of the seaweed only. Buying more seaweed is better value, per gram.

Please accept our apologies for the half empty appearance of the tubs. They are a standard size and unfortunately the different species of seaweed we sell have different densities, so occupy more or less volume in the tubs.

We offer free postage when you sign up to our newsletter, and unfortunately it looks like this box was not checked, hence you may not have received the email with the code. My apologies, but you would still be eligible on another order if you change your mailing preferences.

I do hope you enjoy the taste of your seaweed and give us another try.

Best wishes,

Amy
