Too much Nori

[FrannieGreen]

I love nori crackers and nori rolls. Is it possible to overindulge
with nori. I know the iodine content is high.....so should I eat
in moderation.?
Say one or two snacks a week?
Thoughts?
Thank you,
Frannie

I would eat Nori several times a day if I could afford it! :D

Oh same here. Your body will let you know when it's had enough. Your taste buds will crave something else...

Thank you....you are right VeganforLife....listen to my body.
Eat nori, eat nori,.....!

You can overdose on idonie. I think a tea spoon of nori per day is the maximum you should eat.

Where did you get that information? A teaspoon is not very much. Are you talking about kelp? Also, there are concentrated kelp supplements that you have to be careful with, but I have heard that it is hard to over do sea vegetables.

I just found this on the internet:

"Nori is low in iodine and several sheets a day can be eaten without any concern about excess iodine. Frequent addition of small amounts of powdered or crumbled seaweed to stews or curries while cooking, or to other foods as a condiment, is an excellent way to provide adequate iodine (in the absence of other supplementation) and is a healthful practice for vegans. 15g of dried kombu or kelp in a convenient container in the kitchen provides one year's supply for one person"

I looked at several websites and they usually talked about iodine deficiency. The cautions for taking too much referred to kelp supplements and not to the acutal seaweed since the supplements are concentrated. I think that one should be careful with kelp as it does have a higher concentration of iodine.

I must say I overdose on nori, I can eat up to a packet over about 2-3 days!

I haven't suffered any side effects.

I have a really tasty way of preparing nori sheets that means I go through them really quickly.

Soak several sheets of nori in a little water and lemon juice and add salt and sesame/ or other raw oil to taste.

Leave to soak until soft enough to eat, place over salads, blend up and use as a dressing etc.

I wouldn't worry about it. A lot of table salt has iodine added and people use that stuff liberally. A tiny bit of iodine from seaweed won't kill ya.

It said so on my bag of nori. I guess, if you don't eat it ever day, you can eat more.

Ooooh for the nori dressing do you just blend the soaked sheets? I would love that. Any other combinations?

One way I love to eat nori is in a salad with red cabbage, soaked raisins, soaked sunflower seeds and a lemon-olive oil dressing. The other way I love nori is raw rolls of course!

Thanks to all that contributed to this thread. I do love nori. I made a pate out of
walnuts, pistachio, sesame seed, lime juice and spices. Of course I did not write down
recipe. I spread it on nori squares and put it in oven at 105 degrees to dry out.
Very tasty.
I need to perfect recipe.....hence eating more nori. That made me think of
how much I could eat.
Anyone want to add a recipe or two for nori....please do.
Kindly,
Frannie

Just to let you know Nori isn't raw. It's roasted.

Not true. There are brands that are NOT roasted. In fact, Alissa carries some in her store:

I get the black nori...it is not roasted.
