Each Nori pack contains ten folded sheets, which after a brief toasting (unfold each sheet and hold it over a gas flame or electric burner until it begins to turn green), make an ideal snack or wrapping for rice or sushi rolls.
Torn or cut with scissors into thin strips, nori makes a tasty garnish for grain, noodle and vegetable dishes as well as soups and salads.
Like many foods, nori is available in different qualities. Lesser grades are a dull, purplish-black colour and lack the vibrant sheen of Japanese Nori whose fine, even texture and translucent, deep-green colour are proof of its excellent quality.
Nori has over 40% protein, more than other sea vegetables, and also contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
Nori is Porphrya tenera, cultivated and dried in Japan.
