Content: Nori is produced by a drying process and comes in neat square or rectangle sheets. Although most commonly seen as the "black wrapping" of a roll, nori is also great right out of the bag. The crispy texture is irressistable. Unlike some other types of "seaweed" you do not soak nori in water. If you do so - it will fall apart. Nori with Megumi Natto, Shiso, Ume and Rice
Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida)
Wakame is made from a sea vegetable called Undaria pinnatifida. That's a mouthful. Wakame is most commonly seen in miso soup. Before that stage, however, it's usually dry (at least in the states) and rehydrated. Wakame must be hydrated and consumed, unless you like scratch marks on your esophagus.
