Description

Nori (also known as Laver) has a rich umami seafood taste, and makes a delicious snack when toasted until crisp.

Toasted and crumbled Nori adds lots of flavor to breads, soups, and sauces, and makes a savory sprinkle on salads, cooked vegetables, rice, and popcorn (also see Nori Flakes).

This is whole leaf Nori; it has not been processed into sheets for making sushi. Nori is a Red seaweed species, and is a great source of protein, carotenoids, vitamins, selenium, and sulfated polysaccharides.

Nori will retain it’s quality for two to three years if kept in airtight containers in a dark place.

Although we strive to produce perfectly clean sea vegetables, please inspect for small crustaceans or shellfish before eating.
