Nori

Nori is the Japanese name for an edible seaweed species of the red algae genus Pyropia including P.vezonensis and P.tenera. It is cultivated around the coast and harvested from November to April. Thin film-like nori is cut into small pieces and dried into sheets. “Hoshi nori” is just dried. “Yaki Nori” is baked at a high temperature for a very short time. “Ajitsuke Nori” is seasoned nori and is also popular on the market. Nori had been consumed in a paste form until the sheet form. It contains nucleotides, inosinate and guanylate as well as glutamate.
