Biddeford-based Atlantic Sea Farms has just launched two new items in its line of seaweed-based products - dried organic kelp flake and dried organic kelp powder. Both are available on Amazon.

The company, in a press release, said the new kelp products can be used as salt replacements or seasoning. The flakes are claimed to be good on avocado toast, popcorn, egg dishes, salads, meats, fish and more, while the powder can be blended into smoothies and soups, and added to marinades, dips and meat rubs. Atlantic Sea Farms said the kelp powder can even be mixed into bread and cookie doughs.

Two University of New England hockey players have launched Underdog Energy. Dylan Schuett and Joey Stanizzi created an energy drink that has less caffeine than other drinks on the market, making it compliant with NCAA testing standards. It’s available in two flavors – strawberry lemonade and blue raspberry.
