Nori leaves are dried seaweed used in many Japanese dishes, including sushi and maki. They are also an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Grilled nori seaweed is very crunchy and easily breakable, so if you like, you can crumble it over dishes or a salad, for example. But do so at the last moment, to avoid softening.
You can store them in an airtight tin, but personally, grilled seaweed doesn’t last long in our house! Tell us in the comments what you think and how you use it!
