It’s the age-old question: When making maki rolls, does the smooth side of the nori face down on the bamboo mat or the rough side? The correct answer is that the smooth side should face down.
Another good tip: Dried nori can also be finely ground and used over salads or to season food.
Nori has been common in Japan for hundreds of years. The red seaweed grows in aqua plantations at river mouths or on the coast. Around 350,000 tonnes are processed each year. The main growing areas are in Japan, but also in China and Korea.
Experts suspect that more than 400,000 species of algae exist worldwide; however, only about 50 are edible.
