What is a Seaweed Wrapper?

Nori sheets are dry appetizing seaweed wraps used in Japanese food made from Pyropia species such as P. yezoensis and P. tenera. It has a potent and distinguishable flavor and is frequently used to wrap sushi rolls or onigiri (rice balls).

Shredding and rack-drying methods are used to create the final dried sheets, similar to how paper is made. Finally, they are sold in supermarkets in packages for cooking purposes.
