Asco Seaweed Seasoning Granules - Ascophyllum | Wild & Briny

Meet Asco: The Captain of the Seaweed World Bold, robust and confident. Asco is wild-harvested Ascophyllum nodosum, hand-cut from the mineral-rich waters of the North Atlantic and gently dried into deep, dark granules packed with natural umami flavour. New to cooking with seaweed? Think of Asco as a seasoning, not a side dish. A spoonful stirred through a slow cooker meal or risotto works the same way a good stock cube or parmesan rind does — it doesn't taste "of the sea," it just makes everything taste more. How to Use Asco Stir into soups, stews, bolognaise and slow-cooked meals for deep savoury depth Knead into bread, pizza dough and savoury crackers for a subtle umami lift Simmer in risottos and sauces in the last 10 minutes of cooking Pairs beautifully with beef, lamb and seafood Start with a quarter teaspoon per serve — a little goes a long way. Flavour Profile Bold, marine, umami — think the savoury punch of a good miso or anchovy, without the fish. Did You Know? Ascophyllum nodosum has been growing in the North Atlantic for roughly 23 million years. Slowly concentrating trace minerals from the sea as it grows gives it a bold, distinctive flavour. Wild-Harvested, Not Farmed Asco is hand-harvested from wild growth off the coast of the UK. It's a naturally renewable food, needing only sun and sea to grow. Ingredients: Brown wrack seaweed 100% Product of United Kingdom. Imported and packed by Seaweed Enterprises Australia.
