Content: 2) Nori ( Porphyra teneraor or yezoensis)
Nori, also called laver, grows off of coastal rocks in thin twisted formations that are not usually more than a foot long. Although it is available as whole laver pieces and flakes, it has been traditionally prepared in Asian cultures for centuries in the form of "sheets", using a process similar to Japanese paper-making. Nori sheets are used in sushi, of course, but are also great to use as wraps to replace tortillas or bread. The most nutritious nori is the raw variety, which is usually a dark green color. Bright green nori sheets have been toasted and are lower in nutrient content. 3) Dulse ( Palmaria palmata)
Dulse is a red seaweed variety that is frequently found on the Northwest Pacific and North Atlantic coasts, Iceland, Canada and regions of Ireland and Scotland. When it is dried is has a soft, chewy texture and delicious smoky flavor. Like nori, it doesn't require cooking, and can be enjoyed as pieces or flakes sprinkled over meals as a salt replacement. Whole pieces can be soaked briefly, as the blades are fairly thin, and chopped into salads. Dulse and nori are both great tasting seaweeds for those who don't prefer stronger flavored variations.
