I am sea vegetable obsessed. growing up in Japan sea vegetables are a huge part of my diet. We could get access to many varieties such as hijiki, mekabu, kombu, tororo kombu, wakame and of course nori.
Nori probably is the most popular seaweed in Western countries. They are tasty, handy and not too strong in flavours. Like any other seaweed, they are very high in nutrition.
Protein – 100g of nori can contain up to 30- 50 grams of protein
Fibre – 33 per cent dietary fibre
Mineral and vitamin content – high in Iodine, iron, calcium, mineral and magnesium. it also contains vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folate as well as phosphorous, potassium, zinc and Vitamin C, E and K.
Unfortunately, our ocean is not as safe as it used to be. Even though I still think it is beneficial to eat seaweed as they are amazingly beneficial if you can source them from a safer environment it is so much better.
I have been getting these nori sheets for a while now and LOVE them. I go through them so fast that I personally welcome a big pack of 50 sheets. If you are like me who loves nori and have been looking for organic and raw nori you can now purchase them here with us
a little bonus!
