Nori seaweed is a type of red algae that belongs to the genus Porphyra. It is widely consumed in various Asian cuisines, particularly in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese dishes. Nori is often used to wrap sushi, but it also has other culinary applications.

Nori typically has a thin, flat, and paper-like texture with a dark green to blackish color. It is harvested from the intertidal zones of coastal areas. The seaweed is grown on nets or other substrates, and it is harvested during the late autumn and winter months.

Nori is highly nutritious and is a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B, and C, as well as iodine, iron, and protein. Nori is rich in nutrients such as antioxidants, which contribute to its potential health benefits. The iodine content in nori can support thyroid function. It contains certain compounds that have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, although more studies are needed to fully understand these potential benefits.

One of the most common uses of nori is for wrapping sushi rolls (maki) and hand rolls (temaki).

Nori sheets can also be toasted and cut into thin strips to be used as a garnish or a topping for salads, soups, and rice dishes. Crushed nori is also used for seasoning.
