Maine Coast Laver, Wild Atlantic Nori, Whole Plant, Organic

Similar to Japanese Nori with a distinctive nutty flavor.

Laver, also known as "Wild Atlantic Nori," is a wild North Atlantic cousin to Porphyra yezoensis or Nori, the seaweed grown on nets and processed into sheets for sushi. Laver has a similar sweet and nutty flavor in an unprocessed form. This delicious, indigenous algae grows wild here on our rocky shores from early spring to late fall.

Nutritionally, Laver is the highest in Vitamins B1, B6, B12, C and E of all the sea vegetables we carry. It also contains significant amounts of vegetable protein, fiber, iron and other minerals and trace elements.

Warning: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
