Of the scores of kinds of seaweeds consumed around the world, nori is the overwhelming favorite. Although originally gathered wild, nori has been cultivated in Japan since with 1700's and today more than 300,000 tons of fresh nori are harvested annually from farms in coastal Japan, Korea, and North China. nets of woven rope are suspended below the surface of the ocean in quiet bays, and during the cold months of winter, the nori slowly grows to cover the entire net. From December to February, the nori is hand-harvested, washed, and placed in frames to dry into paper-like sheets. This low-temperature, slow drying is essential to retain the nutrients. Emerald Cover Organic Pacific Sushi Nori is guaranteed Silver Grade, the highest grade for everyday use in Japan and the highest grade available in the North America natural food industry. The fine texture and pliable sheets produce exceptionally smooth and delicious rolls of nori-maki sushi. Each sheet is pre-toasted to a beautiful, brilliant golden-green. You'll marvel at the clean, sweet taste of this king of edible sea vegetables.

Sourced from a new Japanese-Chinese company cultivating Certified Organic Nori (Porphyra yezoensis) in the coastal waters off China to bring you better taste and higher quality at a lower cost with the guarantee of purity that only Organic Certification can bring. The Japanese partner is a long-established nori producer with more than 100 years experience growing and processing nori. Emerald Cove® Organic Toasted Sushi Nori is cultivated from certified organic nori spores gathered from the previous year's crop. The young plants are nurtured in protected aquatic beds free from pollutants until they are strong enough to be transferred to nets in shallow ocean waters. They never treat these nets with herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides, but instead remove invading pests by hand.

Instructions on how to roll and prepare sushi are on the package. Each sheet is about 8.25" x 7.5".
