Pacific Harvest Nori Seaweed Flakes, Wild Harvested 60g
Nori is a red seaweed and of all the seaweeds it offers the most plant protein (up to 35%). Red seaweeds have a general tonic effect on the body, strengthening the immune system. Traditionally they have been used to nourish the nervous system and improve resistance to stress. There are even studies showing they can relieve symptoms of cold and flu. They are soothing to the digestive tract and skin.
Nori is an iodine rich food, and also offers Vitamin B12 which is hard to find in a plant based source – vegans and vegetarians take note! Nori has recently become a popular healthy seaweed snack and for good reason – it is brimming with nutrients and has amazing umami flavour. Nori seaweed has a texture similar to cellophane and is naturally a dark purple/browny colour. It has a light mushroom like flavour which can change to more of a mushroom flavour when roasted, or anchovy flavour when moist.

Due to the 2016 earthquake New Zealand experienced, the commercial harvesting area for Karengo remains closed to allow the seabed to recover. We offer this same species of Karengo seaweed, but currently source from wild harvesters in South America or farmed (organically certified) Nori from Korea until we are able to source locally once more.
