Gimme Health Foods has become one of the leading plant-based snack companies in the United States through the pioneering of organic seaweed snacks and leveraging expertise in this highly nutrition dense, highly sustainable superfood. The company has made nori a premium snack, and has developed a strong pipeline of innovation that integrates this superfood into a variety of mainstream snacks. In April 2018 Gimme received the Whole Foods' Supplier of the Year Award for "Organic Commitment". "Gim" in Korean means Roasted Seaweed (thus brand name gimMe), and is a common food eaten at every meal in Korea. Surprisingly people of all ages and ethnicities, and especially kids love it! Introducing savory vegetables at the youngest age will be a game changer for our health system as current baby foods are largely sugar based leading to obesity/diabetes, etc. Seaweed is true "umami" and great nutrition.
