Disappointing product. NOT a salt alternative. I was led to the product by a rather convincing program showing people wading through seaweed. I tried a small package. It was virtually tasteless. Tried... See more

Good product

Good product, I have the 3 little tins that I order refills for. Online ordering is easy & they arrived quickly. A word of advice to Mara - if you want to expand your market in England you may want to reconsider who appears on your marketing campaigns, your first minister might not be a popular choice outside of Scotland!

Used Mara Seaweed for a good few years now, always find them reliable , and products are good.
My Niece's are getting the recipe book and a tin of Dulse, each for Easter, instead of Easter Egg's, one will be pleased, as she is not a chocolate lover, and the other will be disappointed, but will hope her children, will get a few Easter Eggs, so she will be able, to sneak some of theirs.

Bought it for the Iodine, flavour is amazing!

Bought the dulse powder after trying the dulse flakes. Fantastic product. Delivered in 2 days. Would be great if M&S would continue stocking this in my area to save on delivery cost. Stocked it at Christmas 2016 never to be seen again.

Great product.

Great product and good service. A bit pricey, but it is a healthy alternative to salt. I would like to be able to buy locally to avoid future shipping charges. As a first order I was not charged this time, but would be in future which makes it expensive. I could not find it in Morrison's Wimbledon.
There is a company called Natural Collection which I think would love to carry this product. It is mail order, but added to an order of other products would work well.

Hi Sally-Anne, thanks for your feedback. Sorry Mara isn't available in your local Morrison's; it's only in the larger stores. However, it will soon be on Amazon and Morrison's online store, if that helps. We'll look into Natural Collection too.

Delivered promptly and well packaged. Can't comment on the quality of the product as I haven't used it for cooking yet although the Kombu is delicious to eat out the tin!!
