Fresh organic Nori seaweed, in 1kg packs
(Porphyra)
Well known in Japanese cuisine, particularly in its dried seaweed form for making maki, nori (porphyra purpurea) is a staple of living food! This wild seaweed is the most widely eaten in the world.
🌿 Nori is as thin as a veil, with a beautiful dark purple colour. Fresh nori seaweed can be eaten as a seaweed tartare, in salads, as a seasoning... Its mild, woody flavour, subtly fragrant, is reminiscent of dried mushroom.
As the seaweed is preserved in salt, it softens more quickly and becomes more crumbly after a few months. But we are sure you will not need to keep it for 6 months!
Desalting : your seaweed is preserved in salt. Take the desired amount of seaweed to eat straight away in a salad or in another recipe. Soak it briefly in water for a first desalting. Rinse, then discard the water. Then leave it to soak for two to three minutes in a sufficient amount of water. Rinse.
If the seaweed still tastes too salty, rinse it a third time.

- Storage : in the fridge
- Delivery: Seaweed is shipped on a just-in-time basis, so a few extra days are sometimes needed to process your order, depending on the day we are restocked. Seaweed easily withstands several days in transit without refrigeration, even in hot weather, thanks to its salt-bath packaging.
You receive an email on the day your parcel leaves, then your tracking number the following day.
Seaweed sometimes releases a little water during transport, despite double zip packaging. This is rare, but if your box arrives damp, it is not a problem: please accept your parcel and contact us by email so we can sort it out. In 10 years we have always found an amicable solution, but refusing fresh goods means the goods are lost, and we would like to avoid that situation.
