Nori, or porphyra, is supposed to be the world’s most popular sea vegetable. There are several species of seaweed, or the genus porphyra, that are edible and delicious. It is a good source of assimilable protein and vitamins. The Japanese cultivate nori in aquaculture farms. American nori is usually picked from the wild and is harvested by pulling it from the rocks. It is usually dried in its natural blade form. Once dried it has a very rich flavor. A really distinctive characteristic of nori is that it is ultra thin, almost like cellophane.
