| These delicate but tasty flakes of ruby, emerald and jade seaweeds provide a versatile flavour boost and natural alternative to salt. |
Mara Seaweed's Shony is a unique blend of three seaweeds: sugar kelp, oarweed and dulse.
The deep umami sweet and savoury flavours of sugar kelp and oarweed (another variety of kelp) combine with the rich, smoky and salty taste of dulse to provide a fusion of flavour, a wonderful combination of natural colours and a great source of nutrition. It's even been described by Paul Hollywood as "inexplicably delicious"!
Mara Seaweed is harvested sustainably from the pure, wild waters around Scotland and Ireland. To avoid contamination, the seaweed is packed into sealed sacks before being brought up the beach and delivered fresh, directly to the factory. The seaweed is picked and processed within 24 hours to lock in flavour, ensure quality and secure maximum nutritional benefits.
Shony is named after the Hebridean sea god, Seonaidh (pronounced “show-knee”).
How to use
Try Shony as a seasoning. Sprinkle it generously on salads to bring out lighter flavours; use it like dried herbs to make a savoury rub; or stir through oil as a coating for roasted vegetables. Shony also works well in baking and desserts.
