Specialty Food Association

BIDDEFORD, MAINE,  February 3, 2022 - Ocean’s Balance, the award-winning Maine brand offering essential pantry items made using regeneratively farmed & foraged seaweed, will unveil its new unsalted seasonings at Booth #4518 at the Winter Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas on February 6th-8th.  

Winter Fancy Food Show attendees will have the privilege of being the first to sample Lemon Pepper, Chili Lime and Seafood Seasonings. The flavor-packed seasonings are made with no added salt, relying on the natural salinity of regenerative Maine seaweed to deliver unparalleled taste to fish and poultry, to elevate oysters and rim your favorite cocktails.

“People’s cooking and eating habits have evolved over the past two years, and today’s kitchen pantry reflects a commitment to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle,” says CEO Mitchell Lench.   “Regenerative seaweed – a nutritious food that’s a great source of vitamins & minerals, Omega-3s and anti-oxidants, needs no added inputs to grow, can help reduce ocean acidification and improves the biodiversity of the water it grows in - is playing a bigger role in that evolution, and we are thrilled to present our newest pantry items to the food community gathering at the Winter Fancy Food Show and continue to make the ultimate superfood accessible to everyone. What makes the Seaweed Seasonings so exciting is that we’ve let seaweed’s natural salinity work its magic, resulting in intense flavor without any added salt.” 

The company will also be sampling their award-winning Mariner’s Pasta Sauces in Arrabbiata and Marinara flavors which launched at Whole Foods in New England on January 1st.  Sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan, the premium sauces are a great source of iodine, iron, potassium, fiber and calcium and are making a name for themselves thanks to their delicious flavor.
