All of these combinations for different sushi rolls. Heck, you can stuff a sheet of nori with almost anything. You may be wondering, “Why? Make a salad, you weirdo!” (I do eat salads too!)
Aside from the delightful taste — a little salty, a little fishy, but in a good way — nori is actually jam-packed with nutrition. So beyond enjoying the taste, you can be satisfied in knowing that you are doing something good for your body too.
You want trace minerals? Seaweed’s got ‘em. According to the nutritional information on my package of nori, you’ll get potassium and iron from nori. That’s not all: the minerals in sea vegetables are all of the minerals found in human blood, seaweed is chock-full of phytonutrients and lignans, and are rich in iodine (for thyroid function) and vitamin K (for blood clotting).
Heck, there’s even a little protein in that beloved nori, and a whopping 40% RDA of vitamin A as beta carotene.
So what are you waiting for? You know you’ve been wanting to try a real California Roll, or maybe something vegetarian. All you need is nori, rice and your imagination, so get to it and enjoy your nori and the nutrition that it offers you.
