Dried Nori Flakes Organic
Nori seaweed has a green-dark purple colour and tastes delicately of seafood, with a very slight smoked flavour.
Use of the nori flakes
When soaked, nori flakes go very well with salads or ceviche, and when cooked they are great in soups, croquettes, empanadas, rice dishes or stews. Since the flakes become 5 times larger when soaked or cooked than when dried, it makes sense to use only small quantities.
- for hydration: soak in water for 5 minutes.
- For cooking: boil in water for 5 minutes.
