Kelp Jerky

A Sustainable Snack

AKUA Kelp Jerky

SPECIAL MENTION: Kelp jerky is not only a nutritious snack, its production could help fight climate change. Kelp is an underwater crop that draws in carbon and nitrogen from the oceans. AKUA, the startup behind the snack (available for $7), estimates that the kelp it used in 2019 helped to pull 2,000 pounds of carbon from the water. —Sanya Mansoor
