Content: Nori features a very thin, flat, purplish blade, and therefore, preferred in sushi rolls. Cultivation
Porphyra species are commercially grown in seaweed farms where shorelines emerge above seawater during low-tides but submerge again at high-tide times. The long rope lines arranged in the ocean in such a way that they are allowed to come out of the water so as to expose to the atmospheric air for a few hours a day. The Porphyra spores germinate on the ropes and grow into a new thallus (blade). Each brownish-red thallus (frond) composed of a one-cell layer of flat, broad, elliptical blades that generally grow up to 15-20 cm long. Raw, wet Porphyra thus collected either by hand or using machines is further processed into dried sheets of nori in the processing units. During processing, most salt is washed away, so that the sodium content of prepared nori is low. Dried and cut sheets are packed in bundles and dispatched to the markets for sale. Simple, dried, un-toasted product is called hoshi-nori, which distinguishes it from yaki-nori, which is toasted. Health Benefits of Nori seaweed
