All about sushi nori (seaweed wrap)
Nori is a dark green, almost black seaweed used to wrap sushi rolls or to hold toppings in place. Most westerners experience Nori only in sushi rolls, while Japanese cuisine has many uses for the ingredient. Nori can be added to soups and seafood dishes to add its salty flavor. Nori will even absorb water from the air when stored, and should be stored tightly with a desiccant if not used soon after purchasing. Nutritionally, Nori is high in protein, minerals, vitamins and fiber. One sheet of Nori, which can be used for an entire roll of sushi, will add only 13 calories to the roll. This is great as Nori is an essential ingredient in sushi as we know it today. About a third of Nori is protein and a third fiber, which is one of the main reasons sushi is a healthy meal. While Nori is rarely enjoyed alone in the Western world, the nutritional benefits can be gained by simply toasting Nori with sesame oil or soy sauce and enjoying it as a stand-alone snack.
