At SharpWebLabs.com we carry a wide assortment of packaged seaweeds. Seaweeds are extensively used as food by coastal peoples, particularly in Japan and Korea, but also in China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Peru, the Canadian Maritimes, Scandinavia, Ireland, Wales, Philippines, and Scotland, among other places. For example, Porphyra is a red alga used in Wales to make laverbread, and in Japan dried, formed into sheets called nori which is widely used in soups, and for wrapping sushi, boiled rice stuffed with bits of raw fish, sea urchin roe, or other ingredients. Chondrus crispus (commonly known as Irish moss) is another red alga used in producing various food additives.

Always on the lookout for new exciting groceries to experiment with, I picked up this packet of nori flakes the other day. Nori is the toasted seaweed that is used to wrap sushi rolls, and these flakes are basically just like tiny pieces of those sheets. I got these at a natural foods store in my neighborhood, but they are easy to find at Asian grocery stores, too.

These little flakes can be used to add a touch of salty, oceany, almost nutty flavor to a variety of foods. I’ve been trying them on almost everything: salads, soups, tofu, rice, and stir-fry. Sometimes the flavor can overwhelm other flavors in a dish, so I’m learning to use it sparingly. In the right amounts, it can really help complete simple dishes.
