Bangor marine biologist launches line of cookie dough made with seaweed

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 11, 2024

When Jessie Muhlin decided to start selling frozen cookie dough, she knew one had to contain seaweed. The first flavor the marine biologist developed was the Selkie Sea Biscuit, a lemon cookie with flakes of seaweed, almost like tri-color sprinkles. The cookie has a subtle seaweed taste, Muhlin said. “It adds, I think, an element of intrigue and nutrition because it does have nutritional qualities,” she said. The seaweed is harvested in Maine and sold by Maine Coast Sea Vegetables.
