(Porphyra)

Well known in Japanese cuisine, particularly in its form ofdried seaweed for the making of makis, the noriPorphyra purpurea) is a staple of raw food! This wild algae is the most consumed in the world.

🌿 Nori is as thin as a veil, with a beautiful dark purple color. Its dried sheets allow you to easily create creative and friendly rolls. When cut into flakes, it seasons and decorates your dishes while providing them with a concentrated source of energy. The seaweed can also be consumed fresh in seaweed tartare, salad, dressing... Its mild and woody flavor, subtly fragrant, is reminiscent of dried mushrooms.

Since the seaweed is preserved in salt, it softens more quickly and becomes more brittle after a few months. But we are sure that you won't have to keep it for 6 months !
Desalination : your seaweed is preserved in salt. Take the desired amount of seaweed to consume directly in a salad or in another recipe. Soak them briefly in water for an initial desalting. Rinse, then discard the water. Then let them soak for two to three minutes in a sufficient amount of water. Rinse.
If the seaweed tastes too salty, rinse it a third time.

Manual collection on the foreshore – From April to June and from September to the end of October

- Conservation : in the refrigerator

- DeliveryThe shipment of seaweed is carried out on a just-in-time basis, and a few additional days are sometimes necessary for processing your order, depending on the day we are restocked. The seaweed can easily withstand several days of travel without refrigeration, even in high heat, thanks to their packaging in a salt bath.

You will receive an email on the day your package is shipped, followed by your tracking number the next day.

It happens that the seaweed releases a bit of water during transport, despite double zip packaging. This is rare, but if your box arrives wet, it's not a problem. Please accept your package and contact us by email to discuss the situation. In 10 years, we have always found amicable arrangements, but refusing fresh goods means the goods are lost, and we wish to avoid these scenarios.
