Nori Sheets - raw, wildcrafted, organic - 50 sheets

Raw, Wild Harvested, Certified Organic from the Sea of Japan

Our truly raw, certified organic Nori is wild harvested from the mineral rich waters of the Sea of Japan. Our Nori is never cultured; it grows naturally in it native environment. Nori seaweed is a universal name for various species of red algae. Raw Nori is dark purple in color - food for the crown chakra! (Green Nori has been roasted.) Our glossy purple-black Nori Sheets are classified as Grade A-B, representing the upper 15% of quality of all Nori production.

Nori Sheets are one of the easiest ways to eat seaweed - just use it as a wrap for salads or fill it with sliced veggies and nut paté. For this reason, along with its dense and unique nutrient values, Vivapura has identified it as one of the "Seven Superb Superfoods". It is low calorie and low fat, and extremely high in nutrients, especially riboflavin, vitamins A & C, iron, calcium, zinc, iodine, EPA and fiber. Nori contains as much protein as soybeans, in an easy to digest and assimilate form. It is also a good source of lignans. 

The Truly Raw Nori Production Process:
Vivapura's Nori is wild harvested, rinsed, emulsified into a slurry, low-temperature pressed into sheets and placed on screens on drying racks (similar to a paper making process). It is naturally dried in conditions that never exceed 85℉. (Note: much Nori sold as "raw" has been heat processed at temperatures high enough to destroy vital nutrients). The large dry sheets are then cut into the finished product size and finally packaged. The entire process is carefully monitored by OCAI (and international organic certification organization with far more stringent regulations than any regulating body in the US). In addition, our Nori Sheets are also certified USDA Organic.
