Where it comes from

Wando Island: Korea's kelp capital.

Wando Island, off the southwest coast of South Korea, produces some of the cleanest, most nutrient-dense kelp in the world. The cool, mineral-rich waters are naturally pristine — no industrial pollution, no overfishing pressure. Haechomiin sources 100% of their kelp from this region.

In 1997, Haecheongjeong Co., Ltd. was founded with a mission: transform Wando kelp into new products that celebrate its natural health benefits. After years of R&D, they developed proprietary technology to create the world's first starch-free, flour-free kelp noodles. No additives except a food-safe binder. Just pure kelp, shaped into noodles, ready to eat.

The result won approval in Korea, the US, Germany, Australia, and beyond. Today, Haechomiin is the gold standard for low-calorie, nutrient-dense kelp noodles.

Why kelp noodles

The nutrition story.

Almost zero calories9–11 kcal per serving — about the same as a leaf of lettuce. Yet completely satisfying and filling.

Mineral powerhouseCalcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, iodine. One serving delivers 15–20% of daily iodine needs (crucial for thyroid health).

Fibre & textureDietary fibre from the kelp itself. No starch means blood sugar stays stable. No mushy texture — stays firm and crunchy even after the packet is open.

Ready to eatNo boiling required. Just drain, rinse, and eat. Saves time, fuel, and cooking stress.

Vegan & gluten-freePure kelp noodles. No animal products, no gluten, no hidden nasties.

Stays fresh for a yearRoom temperature storage, no fridge needed. Perfect for pantries, offices, travel, emergency kits.

How to eat it

Three-step setup.

Step 1 — Open & drain: Open the packet and pour the noodles into a fine mesh strainer. Let any water drain off.

Step 2 — Rinse: Gently run cool water over the noodles for 10–15 seconds. Drain well. This removes any excess salt and keeps the noodles firm and crisp.

Step 3 — Serve: Mix with your favourite sauce, dressing, or soup. The noodles absorb flavour beautifully — sesame sauce, hot sauce, dashi broth, pesto, yoghurt-based dressing, whatever. They're equally at home in cold salads, warm soups, or stir-fries.

Total prep time: 2 minutes. Seriously.

Recipe ideas

What to do with your noodles.

Cold sesame noodle salad: Rinse the noodles, dress with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Top with shredded cucumber, carrot, edamame, and sesame seeds. Keeps in the fridge for 3 days.

Korean-style bibim salad: Haechomiin actually makes a bibim sauce just for this. Mix sauce with noodles, add kimchi, spinach, mushroom, and a drizzle of gochujang oil. Crack an egg on top if you eat eggs.

Miso soup noodle bowls: Heat miso broth, add the noodles, and top with tofu, green onion, nori, and a soft-boiled egg. The noodles stay firm in hot broth — no mushiness.

Thai-style with peanut sauce: Dress noodles with peanut sauce (peanut butter, lime, soy, garlic). Add cucumber, bell pepper, fresh herbs. Crunchy, filling, 40 calories total.

Pad thai energy salad: Mix noodles with tamarind sauce, lime juice, crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, and basil. No cooking required.

Haechomiin FAQ

Your questions answered.

Are Haechomiin kelp noodles actually vegan?
Yes — 100% vegan. Made from pure Wando kelp, naturally gluten-free, and certified by vegan standards in Korea and internationally. No animal products, no by-products.
Do they taste like kelp?
They have a subtle, clean sea flavour — but when dressed with sauce, soup, or dressing, they become neutral and absorb the surrounding flavours beautifully. Think of them as a blank canvas for your favourite tastes.
Why are they so low in calories?
Pure kelp is naturally very low in calories and carbohydrates. Haechomiin removes starch and flour entirely — no filler, no added energy. It's just kelp + a food-safe binder.
Can I store them in the fridge?
Yes, but not required. They're designed for room temperature storage (away from direct sunlight). Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and use within a few days.
Do they need to be cooked?
No — they're ready to eat straight from the packet. Just drain, rinse, and serve. No boiling, no heating, no fuel needed. Perfect for fast meals and travel.
Are they good for meal prep?
Absolutely. Mix with sauce or dressing, store in containers, eat throughout the week. They stay firm and won't become mushy or soggy like regular pasta.
Do they work in hot dishes?
Yes — add them to hot soups or broth just before serving, or warm them gently. They hold their texture beautifully in warm applications because there's no starch to break down.
