North Coast Seafoods, a US seafood company, has announced that its Kelp meatballs are available now online and in the US. Foodservice includes K-12 schools systems and higher educational institutions.
“The most exciting food development I have seen in my 45-year career”
North Coast describes the Kelp Meatballs, which can also be sold as Nuggets, as a “one-of-a-kind” plant-based food that is delicious and easy to prepare. Made primarily with ocean-grown kelp, the meatballs also feature ingredients like green chickpeas, brown rice and spices, and are naturally vegan and gluten-free.
North Coast worked with Atlantic Sea Farms, a company that grows kelp in cold waters near the Gulf of Maine.
“Chefs and foodservice operators ask me all the time, ‘What’s new out there?,” said Chef Andrew Wilkinson, North Coast’s chef director of research and development. “My immediate response is ‘Kelp from Maine!’, the most exciting food development I have seen in my 45-year career. This sea-vegetable is local, healthy, sustainable, and delicious.”
