Use this just like you would use ordinary sea salt – to season stews, sauces, breads or as a finishing touch on roasted potatoes, popcorn and chocolate mousse.
Benefits of seaweed:
-
Nutrient-Rich: Seaweed is packed with essential vitamins and minerals like iodine, calcium, iron, and vitamins A, C, and K.
-
Iodine Source: Seaweed is a natural source of iodine, crucial for thyroid health.
-
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory: It contains antioxidants and compounds like fucoidans, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Sustainable: seaweed stores carbon, grows rapidly and requires no arable land. It is generally considered to have a low environmental impact and even a positive carbon footprint.
Storage
You can keep the seaweed salt for at least 2-4 months at room temperature. The dried nori sheets have a long shelf life by themselves and the salt will help to preserve it even further.
makes 4 tbsp
Ingredients
-
2 nori sheets
-
2 tbsp sea salt
Method
Toast each nori sheet by moving it back and forth on both sides over a low flame until the edges begin to wilt and it turns a little crispier (10-20 seconds) or for 10 minutes in the oven at 160°C.
Rip the nori sheets into smaller pieces, then use a small blender to grind them into a fine powder. Add the seaweed powder and sea salt to a jam jar, close it with a lit and shake it to mix them together. Then use it just like any salt, keeping in mind that it’ll only be half as salty.
Storage: Keep airtight for at least 2-4 months at room temperature.
