Description
Seodong Roasted Gamtae Seaweed is a seasoned, roasted sheet of gamtae, a fine, thread-like wild seaweed from the clean coastal waters of Korea’s West Sea near Seosan. Each sheet is brushed with perilla oil pressed in-house, seasoned with salt, and roasted by hand. The result is a crisp, lacy seaweed with a rich ocean flavor. This set includes 2 packs of 20g each. It suits anyone who wants a traditional Korean side dish to wrap around rice, or a light, savory snack to eat straight from the pack.
Why This One
- Gamtae makes up 61% of the recipe and is sourced from Korea. The seaweed itself, not the seasoning, is the main ingredient.
- Each pack holds 20g , and the set includes 2 packs. That gives you 16 sheets to share at the table or keep for later.
- Prepared by Seodong Gimsanghoe, a 3rd-generation dried seafood shop with 70 years of history at Seosan Dongbu Market. Every sheet is made with a traditional, 100% handmade process.

La texture est croustillante et savoureuse. Parfait pour les collations ou avec du riz. Je suis content de l’avoir trouvé dans ce format pratique. C’est léger et agréable à manger, idéal devant la télévision.
