A mild red seaweed with relatively high protein content, Nori is also one of the lowest iodine-containing seaweeds. Nori species tested for nutrients generally feature high amounts of vitamins A, C, and K; B vitamins, particularly folate; calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and potassium. Nori species also contain a host of minerals and trace elements in smaller amounts—iron, copper, and manganese—as well as antioxidant carotenoids. Nori has one of the highest Essential Fatty Acid content of all the seaweeds, and some Porphyra species tested tend to have a higher selenium content than other seaweeds.
Seaweeds can naturally contain significant levels of iodine. While cooking seaweeds can substantially reduce iodine content, individuals with thyroid conditions, iodine sensitivity or deficiency, or elders should integrate seaweeds into their diet gradually and thoughtfully. Professional guidance in these cases is recommended.

Our seaweeds are wild harvested from coastal environments where they naturally thrive—often in areas of strong current, wave action, and elemental exposure. Dynamic intertidal conditions—shifting tides, sunlight, wave energy, and environmental variability—influence the development of many compounds for which seaweeds are traditionally valued, creating phytochemical profiles that differ from farmed seaweeds grown in more controlled settings.
We partner with harvesters working in high-energy coastal environments where seaweeds are exposed to conditions that support robust growth, diverse bioactive compounds, and contribute to the overall health and diversity of seaweed communities. Our harvesters are committed to the long-term health of wild seaweed communities, using sustainable practices that support regeneration and resilience.
