Description

Green nori seaweed flakes are small dehydrated and crushed fragments of nori seaweed, a type of edible seaweed very popular in Asian cuisine, especially in Japan, Korea, and China. This ingredient is known for its intense green color and its characteristic umami flavor, slightly salty and oceanic, which adds a unique touch to soups, salads, rice dishes, sushi, and other plates.

Nori seaweed comes mainly from the coasts of Northeast Asia, where it is traditionally cultivated. Currently, its production has expanded to other regions, including some Latin American countries. Green nori seaweed flakes are obtained by drying and crushing nori sheets to facilitate their use in recipes, providing texture and flavor without the need to handle whole leaves.

Regarding its properties, nori seaweed is rich in minerals such as iodine, calcium, iron, and magnesium, in addition to providing vitamins A, C, E, and B complex. It also contains antioxidants and fiber, making it a healthy ingredient that supports the immune system, digestive health, and the proper functioning of the thyroid.

In different regions of Latin America, green nori seaweed flakes may be known simply as crushed nori seaweed or nori seaweed flakes, although they are sometimes also generically referred to as dried seaweed or dehydrated seaweeds.
