Roasted Seaweed Snack with Sea Salt — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Roasted Seaweed Snack with Sea Salt by Trader Joe's MUNCH — score 100/90.

Roasted seaweed lightly brushed with canola and sesame oil and finished with sea salt — four ingredients, all recognizable. It is one of the lowest-calorie savory snacks you can buy, with no additives or flavor enhancers. A genuinely clean stockpile snack.

Why this verdict

• Four whole-food ingredients with no additives
• Very low calorie density — a few calories per pack
• No sweeteners, MSG, or flavor-enhancer stack
• Seaweed contributes iodine and trace minerals

Ingredients (4)

• seaweed (safe) — The whole food itself — low calorie, provides iodine and minerals.
• expeller pressed canola oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil; expeller-pressed is a cleaner process but it's still added refined fat.
• Sesame Oil (safe) — Adds flavor in trace amounts; a known allergen for sesame-sensitive people.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Small amount for flavor contrast.
