  "summary": "Dongwon F&B has introduced a nitrogen-flush packaging method for its Yangban brand roasted seaweed, as part of a global export push to celebrate the product's 40th anniversary. This technique replaces oxygen with nitrogen in the packaging, preserving the seaweed's fresh, crunchy texture and extending its shelf life from six months to 12 months. The company claims to save around 300 tons of silica gel per year by eliminating the need for moisture-absorbing packets. The nitrogen-flush method is primarily targeted at overseas markets, where longer shipping times can cause the seaweed to become soggy.",
