How to choose grilled seaweed

Seaweed is the trade name for Porphyra yezoensis

Processed dried seaweed has a special aroma, and baked seaweed often has a more appetizing aroma. The better the aroma, the higher the grade. Therefore, aroma is particularly important for seaweed (not color)

Once seaweed is baked, it begins to produce a strong aroma. In other words, through baking, the cells of seaweed are destroyed, and the flavor components stored inside the cells dissolve simultaneously after absorbing water. Therefore, although baking is an extremely simple process, it gives seaweed a unique flavor. As for the seasoning of seasoned seaweed, it is made from extracts of some natural products. When processing seasoned seaweed, it is first flavored and then baked. Therefore, some people also call seasoned seaweed seasoned roasted seaweed.

Generally speaking, high-quality seaweed must have a neat appearance, dark color, bright luster, soft and delicious taste. Once it is put into the mouth, it mixes with saliva and quickly dissolves, resulting in a strong aroma and a delicious taste.

You can choose grilled seaweed specifically for sushi, which is usually sold in supermarkets
