Content: Nori comes in a wide range of colors and flavors, depending on what type of seaweed was used and how it was treated. Some can be reddish to brown in color, while dark green nori is familiar to many consumers. In addition, sheets that are dark purple or almost black can be found, and are very popular for making sushi because the dark color contrasts well with the white sushi rice. Seaweed is processed and dried to create nori, the dry wraps used for sushi. In addition to being used in soups and sushi, nori is also shredded and scattered on rice dishes and stir fries. Finely shredded nori often appears as a condiment, thanks to the salty flavor and crunchy texture. Some consumers also greatly enjoy eating whole sheets dipped in soy sauce. Some Chinese cooks use nori or other seaweeds as well, especially in traditional soups featuring fish and other sea vegetables. Because of its popularity for sushi, toasted nori is readily available in most markets around the world. Specialty stores may also carry special snack foods made from it, along with untoasted nori and other dried seaweeds.
