You can also try our exclusive homemade Recipes!
Is there a vegan option available?
Yes, our Vegan Seaweed Broth swaps bone broth for a plant‑based base while preserving all the nourishing benefits.
How long can I store the OMA cubes?
Unopened cubes keep for up to 12 months in a cool, dry place. Please always look at the expiration date on the package.
Can my baby have this soup?
Our soup is a family-friendly meal that two moms on our team have been serving to their kids since they were 1 year old. However, please always check with your pediatrician to ensure it’s appropriate for your little one(s).
Are you certified gluten-free?
No, our product is not gluten-free. It contains soy sauce, which includes wheat and therefore gluten. Aside from the soy sauce, there are no other gluten-containing ingredients in the product.
How much sodium in this seaweed soup bone broth based?
Our seaweed soup bone broth based contains 310 mg of sodium per serving, which is 13% of the Daily Value (DV). For context, the FDA defines "high sodium" as 20% DV or more (480 mg+). At 310 mg, our soup stays well under that limit and actually meets the FDA's strict criteria for a "healthy" sodium level in individual food items.
What makes the seaweed fiber in OMA special?
OMA includes seaweed-based fiber, which contains soluble fibers, such as alginic acid and fucoidan, that are unique to marine plants. Unlike the fiber found in most land-based fruits, vegetables, and grains, these ocean-derived fibers form a gentle gel during digestion. This gel-forming property may help slow the absorption of sugars and support a healthy gut environment.
Because seaweed fibers have a different molecular structure than typical plant fibers, standard nutrition testing methods may not fully reflect everything that's present, meaning the functional fiber content of your bowl may be greater than what appears on the label.
Think of OMA as a complementary source of marine fiber, offering something different from what most diets already include.
All about the seaweed in OMA
Is this organic seaweed?
Yes! We are proud to share that our seaweed is certified organic. Seaweed is one of the most natural and sustainable superfoods on the planet, as its growth requires no fertilizers or pesticides.
Where does OMA source the seaweed?
We have partnered with a seaweed farm from Korea, known as the No.1 high-quality seaweed supplier. Since seaweed is a key ingredient in many Korean dishes, the clean waters and shallow water levels create ideal environments for cultivating seaweed.
What species of seaweed do you use and why?
In our seaweed soup, we use Miyeok, a type of brown seaweed also known as Wakame. It’s a staple in Korean cuisine, loved for its satiny texture and naturally subtle umami flavor from the ocean.
Is seaweed safe to eat every day?
Yes, in moderate amounts—its nutrient density supports daily wellness. As always, we recommend checking with your doctor if you have any concerns.
How can OMA fit into a postpartum nutrition routine?
In Korean culture, seaweed soup is the cornerstone of postpartum recovery, a tradition so deeply rooted that it is served to new mothers for weeks after childbirth. Rich in minerals from seaweed and amino acids from bone broth, this nourishing bowl has been trusted by generations of Korean families to support a mother's body as it heals and adjusts after delivery.
Individual nutritional needs vary. Please consult your healthcare provider for guidance on your postpartum diet.
How does seaweed help the environment?
It absorbs CO₂, restores marine habitats, and grows without soil, freshwater or chemicals.
How many cubes can I enjoy each day?
Feel free to enjoy 2-3 cubes a day as part of your routine! Since everybody is different, remember that moderation is key. If you have any questions about how they fit into your diet, your healthcare provider is always your best resource.
Is Seaweed Soup safe during pregnancy?
Our product is safe and also a nutrient-dense choice for pregnancy.
Seaweed soups have been cherished for generations as a nourishing staple for expectant mothers in Korea. Seaweed fiber provides gentle support for common pregnancy-related digestive issues. Seaweed is also a natural food source of iodine, an essential mineral that supports thyroid function.
We always recommend consulting with your physician before repeated use.
