Triple Blend Flakes makes it to Vegetarian Times "Foodie Awards"

Vegetarian Times Magazine, one of the oldest nationally distributed magazines devoted to all things vegetarian, has nominated our Triple Blend Flakes as one of the "Most Savory Seasonings" of 2009 in their first-ever "Foodie Awards." The editors of the magazine chose five nominees within each of 25 categories which range from green tea to tofu and tempeh, and everything in between.

The newest member of our Sea Seasoning family, this is a colorful mix of red dulse, black laver and green sea lettuce flakes The zingy flavor of dulse nicely complements the more pungent sea lettuce and nutty laver (wild nori). And of course, all three deliver the mineral richness of the sea in a low sodium, salty-tasting, cellular-friendly format.

Triple Blend Flakes will definitely meet 100% of the Daily Value set for iodine (150mcg per tsp serving) and still not overload you with sodium (only 30 mg per tsp). In the words of one customer, "There's no salt substitute out there like this, and no better way to get my iodine." We think you'll like these colorful, tasty nutritious flakes!

We've recently learned from several medical research doctors that many of us aren't getting enough iodine. In fact The National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey 2000 found that iodine levels in the US have fallen 50% in 30 years. Here's what some believe is going on: our depleted farm soils are iodine starved. The iodine in iodized salt may not be fully bioavailable. Many are switching to sea salt which has almost no iodine. And there is an increasing amount of environmental bromine, fluorine and chlorine that directly competes for cellular iodine receptor sites.
