Low Temperature Dried Laver, (Porphyra Umbilicalis).

Please re-use this bag. Basic Prep: Our wild Laver comes directly to you without processing or washing out any of its mineral richness. Please check for occasional tiny hidden pebbles or shells in the fronds. Some plants may develop a white powder during storage. These are natural salts and sugars that precipitate from inside the cells. To minimize, seal Laver in this ziplock out of extreme light, heat or moisture. Laver as a Snack: Enzyme active and chewy if you eat as is! Light roasting in a 300 degrees oven for 5-8 min until crisp will greatly enhance the taste as well as tenderize. Or dry roast in a medium hot skillet, turning occasionally until crisp. Kids often love these chips as is - or sprinkle a little pepper on them! Try crumbling these chips on unsalted popcorn or peanuts - or on morning cereal, hot or cold. Laver in Stirfries: Complements most veggies, grains and soy products, particularly tofu. Best roasted lightly before use (see Laver as a snack). Use about 1 cup (1/2 oz.) of roasted Laver per 4 servings. Crumble into any stirfry while cooking or use as a last minute garnish for some crunch. Mix in with any fried rice or noodle dish for a sea-salty, nutty accent. Laver in Salads: To tenderize without roasting or cooking, marinate Laver for at least 18 hrs. Marinate in your dressing, chop and toss with your greens. For a stronger taste, crumble roasted Laver over your salad just before serving. Add a slight sea flavor to your pasta or three bean salad with roasted Laver.
