My very favorite way to prepare it, is to buy 'suhi Nori' and then fry it up in some oil/ fat, dab off extra oil between two paper towels and then lightly salt the crispy sheets. Voila! You have a result that is what the Japanese children eat instead of salty American potato chips! I was going through some of your old posts and had to comment on this.

We could totally get seaweed snacks! I definitely eat NORI by the bag full... and when I say bag full I mean 50-sheets per bag full! ha ha! I get mine from Asian Food Grocer online - they have the best prices on 50-sheets & they are delicious!!!!!!! It's just a bonus that it's a super food! Wrap your salad in it - works like a charm....and when I bring home sushi grade salmon, eel, etc... I always wrap it in nori - perfect! If only I knew you! We could totally get seaweed snacks!

Keep up the good work. I too was always worried about my back but heavy deadlifting has actually gotten rid of my back pain. Damaged Justice, Lol, that sounds truly awesome!

Let me know if I can help at all as you enter into a primal lifestyle! Sea vegetables are such a good source of nutrients andd one we forget about. I know I did befeore meeting mr. seaweed. Rambodoc,

I wanted to throw my 2 cents in with regards to the seaweed. I absolutely love it. One of my Asian dormmates offered me some my freshman year of college & I've been hooked ever since. Some of the ones that come in the preportioned packs tend to be a bit salty for me compared to the large sheets used for sushi. So I just rip those apart and have those for a snack. So delicious! I also recently started roasting my own kale, which surprisingly has a similar taste profile to the seaweed but without the previously mentioned "fishy taste". So if the oceany taste is not to your liking try the recipe at "healthycooking.suite101.com/article.cfm/roasted_kale". Kale is so inexpensive and one of the forgotten vegetables I think. It's used as a garnish at some restaurants! So thanks for the site and helping me on my way to a "primal" lifestyle! I look forward to more posts in the future!

My roommate is a big sushi guy and has plenty around, so I'll find some recipes and give it a shot. However, SoG, my big new thing this weekend was not food related, but being inspired by your last climbing post -- I've been annoyed for a while that I don't have any good spot in my home or garage for pullups, but I discovered the advantage to a tiny bathroom: I can put my feet on the edge of the tub, a nice grip with no slip, then "wall walk" around the walls the ceiling with my hands. Can definitely feel it EVERYWHERE! I think I tried seaweed once and didn’t care for it, but that was years ago.

I haven't opened it yet, not knowing what to do with it! Now, I will dare, and let you know. Sorry for being OT, remember I told you "I can't deadlift my bodyweight yet", and you encouraged me? I lift more than my body weight now (just a few days after that comment), and will soon hit 1.5 times that. It was all a fear of back injury and a slow-and-steady mentality that kept me in the lower levels of weight. Thanks, SoG! I got a gift of a bag of seaweed from my BIL in the US.

LM, We are known to crave what we are deficient in which if you are hyperthyroid obviously isnt seaweed! Chris, That sounds like an unfortunate situation all around. Welcome back to the carnivorous pack though! Organic and Thrifty, Alternatives to chips always help me convert friends! Thank you for the recipes. Awesome blog you have going too. RedBeerd, Thank you for that info bruther. Also thank you for pointing out that seaweed IS an algae. Not only is biology one of my worst subjects but I am also landlocked living in the middle of a desert! It pays to have readers that are smarter than you are sometimes. lol Kathy,

My son loves Nori. Here in Hawaii you can get it everywhere, kids take it to school and eat it like chips or crackers on the Mainland. It is really good for you. BTW - Seaweed IS a type of algae.
