LONGEVITY Dehydrated Sea Grapes, 8.4 oz of (Pack of 12), Umibudo Green Caviar, Lato Seaweed | Enhance Health, Boosting Immune System, Valued Natural Gift From Sea (Original, 240g)

Surprisingly yummy!!! I mix A little dressing in. Truly all you need. Definitely gonna order more.

They have a faint sea taste but they are very mild. The texture is the same burst as caviar.I don’t know if the price is fair or not you get 2 small packets but they get much larger as they soak. We rinsed then soaked in cold water for 10 minutes then switched to ice water for a few minutes and that seemed perfect.

When I opened one of the individual packages, I was expecting a dried (dehydrated) sea grape. Instead the pouches contain a partially dehydrated sea grape that was moist. I wish this had registered with me but it didn't. Followed the instructions, watched the tendrils unfurl (pretty cool actually) and placed a bunch on my rice and chicken bowl for lunch. The flavor was very mild, almost tasteless with a crunchy texture to the little grapes that pop in your mouth. So far so good.About halfway through my stomach started to feel funny and then was full-on nausea. I stopped eating them and grabbed the box to read it. Under Instructions, there was header labeled Precautions with 5 bullet points. The first 4 are pretty benign until you get to the 5th one stating: "Some small organisms may be mixed with the Sea Grapes, but it is very safe for consumption and no effect on quality." I freaked out. What organisms pray tell?! Now my stomach was in a full on revolt, it felt like I had gotten food poisoning. Like when I had eaten something bad in a foreign country. Side note, the product is manufactured in Vietnam. The nausea and stomach upset lasted for several hours even after a trip to Urgent Care since this felt like food poisoning. Since travelling a fair bit, I never take these things lightly and they can last depending on whether you've ingested bacteria, viruses or parasites. The fact that the sea grapes were moist in their pouches allows for the possibility of contamination by water-borne organisms that are carried in the sea grape and/or in the processing at the facility in Vietnam. Either way, it doesn't inspire confidence.Conclusion: This product has a statement on their packaging stating there may be organisms in their product but not to worry. I would strongly disregard that. This tidbit of information is not mentioned anywhere on the product description on Amazon. You'd have to see this physically on the box in your hand. In addition, this is labeled "Longevity Dehydrated Sea Grapes" which is misleading. When people see a product is "dehydrated" they expect the product to be thoroughly dried, devoid of any moisture content. The product labeling should have said, "partially dehydrated" so you would know that the product still contains native liquid or has water content in it.Now I'm taking naturopathic herbs to kill parasites and bacteria since that is what I've probably gotten from eating this stuff. I would avoid this at all costs!

I was really curious to try sea grapes after seeing videos of people eating them—they looked super crunchy and fun to eat. Preparation was easy, and the packaging seemed fine, but the taste was a letdown.I expected a light, ocean-like flavor, but instead, it reminded me of river mud—like taking a mouthful while swimming. The texture wasn’t as crunchy as I had hoped either. I love seaweed, jellyfish salad, and most seafood, so I thought I’d enjoy this too, but it just didn’t work for me.I wouldn’t recommend the packaged version. Maybe fresh sea grapes at the beach are a different experience, but this one was disappointing.

I bought this out of curiosity. Never heard of it before. I do love seaweed salad and wondered if it would make a nice addition to my store bought seaweed salad that I buy from a local Korean grocery store. I tasted it plain and the little grapes burst open when you chew them, releasing a salty brine that taste like ocean caviar. It was ok but when I added it to my seaweed salad, it was very good. I did notice, after several minutes in the salad, they deflated though, which was disappointing but they still taste good. Next time, I’ll just rehydrate the sea grapes in water and serve them next to my seaweed salad and enjoy eating them together, but not mixed, so I get to enjoy the little grapes burst open in my mouth.

I bought this because I saw them on TikTok and they looked like a fun texture. The video said if you follow the directions it won’t taste salty. Unfortunately for me, no matter how many times I rinsed and soaked them, it still tasted like I stuck my face in the ocean to graze. Some people enjoy the salt, but it wasn’t for me. The company was very nice though! They were wonderful to talk to about my issues.

This taste really good with chamoy and lemon 🍋

I wish I read the reviews before I bought this. Tik tok made me do it. The packet contained quite a bit of liquid, which I thought nothing of and certainly didn’t think to rinse it. Followed the directions for double soaking. I enjoyed the taste (after rinsing for several minutes after the second soak) and texture. I did not enjoy the violent and immediate evacuation of my bowels. Thank god I was at home for this.
