Nori seaweed (Porphyra umbilicus) is most familiar as the wrapping around sushi, and is also known as "purple Laver" due to the inky-black colour, that oddly, turns bright green when toasted. Sea Power Natural Nori is hand-harvested wild from the clean, clear Atlantic Oceans then carefully dried. With a slightly sweet, incredibly mild taste, this might just be our new nutritional power-packed favourite!
