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, and is a great source of protein, carotenes, vitamins, selenium, and therapeutic polysaccharides.

Nori will retain its quality for two to three years if kept dry and away from light and heat.

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