Nori

Nori (japanski: 海苔, Nori^?) je japanski naziv za različite vrste jestivih morskih algi koje spadaju u crvene alge porfira (Porphyra); uključujući najistaknutije vrste P. yezoensis i P. tenera. Gotov proizvod se dobija isušivanjem i skupljanjem algi, sličan proizvodnji papira. Japan, Koreja i Kina su trenutno najveći proizvođači nori algi.

Nori

Ranije se pod nazivom nori mislilo na mnogo više vrsta algi nego što je to slučaj danas; pa je tako i alga Hidžiki spadala u tu grupu. Jedan od najranijih opisa alge nori nalazi se u Tajho zakoniku iz 701. godine, gde se spominje njeno oporezivanje. Nori se ranije pripremao u vidu kaše a tek kasnije u toku Edo perioda, u Edo četvrti Asakusa, stvoren je nori u obliku tankih listova koji se i danas tako obranjuje. Ovaj postupak obrade vodi poreklo od japanskog načina pravljenja papira.

Nori se sastoji od 1/3 proteina i 1/3 jestivih vlakana. Sadrži visok postotak joda, karotena, vitamina A, B i C, kao i značajnu količinu kalcijuma i gvožđa. Dok hranjiva vrednost nori alge može da varira, u proseku 100 grama isušenog jaki-nori sadži:

"Unlike wakame, kombu, and hijiki, which are sold in the form of individual leaves, nori is sold as a sheet made from small, soft, dark brown algae, which have been cultivated in bays and lagoons since the middle of the Edo Era (1600 to 1868). The technique of drying the collected algae on wooden frames was borrowed from famous Japanese paper-making industry.".
