The Final Words

Content: As mentioned above, Nori is derived from a particular variety of seaweed that is called Porphyra and it is cultivated in seaweed farms. They thrive in areas where the shore emerges right above the sea water at the time of low tides and submerges into the water during high tides. Ropes or nets are arranged on the shores in a way to allow the seaweeds to come out of the water and be exposed to air for a few hours every day. The spores germinate on ropes and they grow into brownish-red thallus that contains elliptical blades that may be up to 15-20 cm long. The fully-grown Porphyra blades are harvested by hand, washed in fresh water, shredded into small pieces, and processed using machines to make dry sheets of Nori. Most of the salt content is washed away in the processing unit, so Nori is naturally low in sodium. After processing, the dried Nori seaweed is cut and packed into bundles that reach the grocery stores and supermarket for sale. The simple and dried seaweed is called Hoshi-Nori while the toasted version is known as Yaki-Nori. What Type Of Seaweed Is Best For Making Sushi?
