Gimme Organic Roasted Seaweed Snacks with Sea Salt 4 Pack 5 Gram Crispy Texture
Summary
This product contains seaweed, which is a nutrient-rich whole food, but it also includes sunflower oil, a seed oil that can promote inflammation due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score, and the presence of sunflower oil further reduces its healthiness despite the clean and short ingredient list.
