To be honest I have only just started using it, I did expect the tub it came in to be more than half full.

Hi Sara, thanks for your comments, and sorry you were disappointed with the tub. Our seaweed takes up different volumes depending on the density and size of the flake, so unfortunately the tubs can look half full. However, they are all the same weight (120g), we promise!
We hope you enjoy using seaweed in your meals. If you have any more questions, we'd be happy to help. Please get in touch at info@maraseaweed.com.

Thanks Josephine!
Quick delivery, nutritious and tasty product.
I bought more Kombu flakes and powder for it's nutritional value, in particular Iodine. I will also be back to purchase some Shony as I hadn't realised just how much calcium it has per teaspoonful. It's much better to supplement with real food in my opinion and the Mara seaweeds deliver a whole heap of nutritional goodies that actually taste nice - even my children will eat it.

Hi Melissa, we're working very hard to get our products on Amazon US in time for Christmas - we know America is ready for Mara! Some customers are buying online from Chefs Warehouse in the mean time, if that helps? Thanks for supporting Mara Seaweed.

I was wanting to order the 120 gm tubs of Shony on Amazon but I couldn't find that size. Just wondering if there was any reason not to do this size?

Hi Sharon, we hope you're enjoying your seaweed. We recommend you use a 2g serving (approx 1 tsp) for the health benefits, but it will vary with personal tastes, too. You'll find more information on our website, or feel free to drop us a email - we'd be happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

I am very excited to receive my order from Mara Seaweed. The ordering process was easy and I received an email indicating when my shipment will be arriving. I tasted Mara Seaweed (a small package) when I received my Blue Apron menu/food. I loved the taste of the Mara Seaweed and ordered more for my kitchen and other products. I am so excited to get them. I have been trying to find Dolce and they had it, this is great.

I read about Mara Seaweed in a Coast magazine and thought I would like to try some. Making my choice, placing my order and then receiving my seaweed was seamless.
I am thoroughly enjoying the taste and have tried some of the suggestions in the little recipe booklet already.Oat cakes with soft cheese, Mara seaweed sprinkled on top, divine.
I am keen to use this product for two reasons, taste, of course but also as I have a borderline under active thyroid and I would like to help myself naturally rather than take medication.

Delighted to hear you're enjoying Mara and our recipe suggestions Sue! It should help with your thyroid too - do let us know how you get on.

I was delighted to receive a selection of Mara Seaweed & the Seaweed Cookbook as a gift. I'm an adventurous cook living on the Isle of Skye and have always been curious about cooking / eating with seaweeds.
Something I would value is a little more support (accompanying the packaging of the seaweeds) about which meats / vegetables / foods the seaweeds go well with. I'm experimenting, and not all combinations work for me.
I know flavours are subjective, and the book gives some guidance, but I think the packaging needs to include more guidance if you want people to buy your products a second time!

Hi Alasdair, thanks for your comments, it's great to get feedback from our customers. We're currently reviewing all our packaging, so we'll look more closely at the information we supply with the product and see what we can do to improve it.
For now, you might find some useful resources on our website: we have blogs on pairing our seaweed with different meats and fish (with veg to follow later this year), as well as more detailed information about the flavour profiles of Mara Seaweed. Please drop us a line at info@maraseaweed.com if you'd like more information.
Best wishes,
Amy

Poor packaging meant that the product (a gift) was damaged in transit. Contacted Mara, who replaced the item with no quibble. They've also updated their packaging, so this won't be an issue again for other customers - nicely proactive.
