‘Nori’ is the name for dried, edible seaweed sheets. You’ll see Japanese restaurants using nori as the wrap for maki sushi rolls. Nori has a strong and distinctive ‘umami’ flavour, which many people find very moreish!
Thankfully, it’s high in flavour, but low in calories, making it the perfect snack without any guilt. Nori is also a great source of iodine, which is crucial for maintaining thyroid health. And it’s said to improve gut health, increasing the growth of good bacteria.
Crispy nori snacks are the ultimate light but tasty Korean snack: roasted seaweed thins, lightly salted for an afternoon treat.
If you haven’t tried seaweed before and are unsure, give it a go. If you love savoury, crunchy foods, you’re sure to like some crispy nori snacks. And take a look at some of our authentic Asian drinks, which will quench your thirst alongside our traditional snacks.
