Why the Japanese eat seaweed daily (and you should, too)

Nori sheets

Nori

If you’ve ever eaten sushi, you’ve eaten nori, the seaweed that surrounds the rice, fish, and vegetables. The thin, dark-green sheets are made through a process that imitates the Japanese art of papermaking.

Nori has one of the mildest flavors of all seaweeds, not as salty or “fishy” as some. You can purchase snacks made with nori, both dried and fresh, in specialty markets.

Nori is sold both toasted and non-toasted. Nori chips are a popular snack. They’re simply toasted nori, roasted and seasoned with salt. The Japanese eat them like popcorn!

Mozuku seaweed contains very high levels of fucoidan
