About Abacus
Abakus Foods (sometimes spelled Abacus) is a women-founded British healthy snacks brand specialising in seaweed crisps and Asian-inspired snacks. Founded by Helen Wang, the brand was born from her desire to bring the delicious, healthy snacks her mother sent from the Far East to UK consumers. When Helen worked in London's financial district, the demanding hours took a toll on her health. Her mother began sending care packages filled with nutritious Asian snacks that weren't available in the UK. Recognising this gap in the market, Helen founded Abakus to share these healthier snacking options with British consumers. The brand's signature products include Seaweed Crisps in flavours like Salt & Vinegar, offering a lighter, healthier alternative to traditional potato crisps. Seaweed snacks are naturally low in calories, high in minerals and provide a satisfying crunch without the guilt. Abakus Foods has built a strong presence in UK retail, with products available at Sainsbury's, Co-op, Holland & Barrett, Planet Organic and Whole Foods Market. The brand represents the growing demand for Asian-inspired, health-conscious snacking options in the UK market. As a women-founded business, Abakus is recognised as part of the Buy Women Built initiative, celebrating female entrepreneurs who have successfully built and grown their businesses. Helen Wang has since exited the business, leaving a legacy as a trailblazer in the healthy snacking space. Grocefully helps you compare Abakus Foods prices across UK retailers.
