What to Do With Rehydrated Seaweed

Content: Most, but not all, dried seaweeds need to be rehydrated before you use them in a recipe. The simplicity of the process, which usually takes minutes, is a good reason to expand your sea vegetable repertoire beyond sushi wrappings. Dried Seaweed Varieties
The most commonly eaten types of seaweed include nori, kombu, wakame, hijiki, arame and dulse. You can also find bags of mixed types of dried seaweed. Not all types need to be rehydrated. Nori, sold in thin, flat sheets, is ready to eat or use for sushi right out of the bag. Dulse can be cooked or eaten raw, and does not need to be rehydrated beforehand. Most other types of dried seaweed need to be rehydrated. If you are in doubt, read the directions on the package. Tip
Nori and laver are different names for the same type of seaweed.
