Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Toasted Sushi Nori - 7 Piece(s) (17g) Ever since Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's began harvesting indigenous seaweeds in 1971, Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's friends and customers have been asking for a good, clean nori sheet. After unsuccessfully trying to make a rough and tough sheet from their local porphyra species, Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's learned that the Chinese were making excellent nori sheets and started selling those. Several years ago Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's traveled to China and started the process of organically certifying nori through the Chinese branch of OCIA International, Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's seaweed certifier here. Now, with the help of a third party importer, Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's are pleased to support the Chinese nori farmers and provide you with a premium product that we have, so far, been unable to grow ourselves. Use Maine Coast Nori to make traditional sushi or California rolls - or invent your own filling for this low-fat, nutrient-dense food wrap. The production and export of this nori involves no human rights abuse and, to the best of Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's knowledge has no connection with the Chinese government. No chemical fertilizer has been added to the sporing tanks to increase productivity No chemical dip has been used to clean competing species from the nori nets No artificial fertilizer has been released into the grow out area to speed growth All harvesting and handling procedures have been inspected to eliminate sources of further contamination The nori farm cooperatives Maine Coast Sea Vegetable's visited treat workers well (often family), pay living wages and share profits The Harvest Wild Harvested Seaweeds from Downeast Maine Maine Coast Sea Vegetables is located at the very head of Frenchman's Bay. Their certified organic sea veggies are hand harvested from the rocky, sparsely populated Downeast coastal area between Bar Harbor and Eastport.
