I've never eaten raw nori, but I've heard lots of raw-fooders say they eat raw nori all the time and they're all still alive and healthy. :-) So, my unprofessional opinion would be no, it doesn't have to be toasted.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ive never bothered to toast nori, just rolled up the rice and veg in it for sushi. It also works well torn up into little bits with tempeh, tofumayonaise, chopped pickles and celery to make a great mock-tuna salad sandwich. Sea vegetables are treasure troves of minerals!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I used to eat nori fairly regularly up until about 15 years ago when I was reading that it contains seahorses. I so lost my appetite for it that I haven't had any since. I rolled it up with rice, veggies, horseradish, etc., and created low- fat vegetarian sushi. Now, when I want the same thing, I use jasmine or basmati rice which holds together without help. I wish I could remember where I read about that. Anyway, maybe processing has changed over the years and the kind you get today is cleaner. But thought I ought to mention this just in case.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you buy kosher nori, there are no sea horses. They are not kosher.

I wouldn't even know where to find raw nori except maybe through mail order on the internet. Is raw nori common in stores in cities? (I live in a smaller area of only 50k people.) Would it be really easy to find raw nori if I went someplace bigger like, say, Salt Lake City? Does the package say " raw nori " or do you just recognize it because it's green and not dark, almost black? Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I thought it was so processed to get it from seaweed form to sheet form that it wouldn't be raw anyway... Is that wrong?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I buy this stuff: http://www.rawdonelight.com/links/rawnori Based on the description, it's both organic and never heated above 105 degrees Fahrenheit. -Erinhttp://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - Alice Leonard Tuesday, June 17, 2008 4:08 PM Re: nori question I thought it was so processed to get it from seaweed form to sheet form that it wouldn't be raw anyway...Is that wrong?AliceOn 18 Jun 2008, at 08:00, Sparrow R Jones wrote: On 6/17/08, C.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I just use it from the package, sort of dark green and crispy sheets. I think they dry it like that. Don't know how much heat is involved in the process lc carol Sparrow R Jones wrote: On 6/17/08, C.

If they're dark green and crispy, they're pre-toasted. Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
