Drink me, eat me: quaffable scents and edible algae from Sweden

Sweden (where else?) is currently pioneering new developments in drinkable aromas and edible algae.

Scandinavia has long been where healthy living and good design go hand in hand, as demonstrated by these two particularly innovative brands. Kille Enna, a renowned Danish chef, author and photographer, has spent seven years developing 'Taste of a Scent' – four drinkable aromas designed to be sprayed into a glass of springwater.

Pioneering Swedish algae farm Simris, meanwhile, has launched two lines of supplements, with packaging by Stockholm-based design agency Snask that reflects the colours found in the 50,000-plus known species of algae. The jewel-coloured glass jars of the Simris Algae Omega-3 line offer a plant-based alternative to fish oil, while the Simris Select range features novel snacks such as chlorella crispies, algae teas and sundried spirulina sprinkles.
