I found this roasted, seasoned nori at Trader Joe's. Irresistible!

I almost hesitate to mention this new snack which appeared recently at Trader Joe’s, for fear that those of you with addictive personalities will blame me for hooking you on something new! But here it is: Roasted Seaweed Snack, consisting only of roasted nori seasoned with a little salt and sesame and canola oils. A lighter, healthier snack would be hard to come by. The package weighs .4 ounce–so you know it’s unlikely to pack on the pounds, and two pieces contain only 15 calories. Nori, of course, is one of those sea vegetables I’m so enamored with, and why not? It tastes really good, and even kids who’ve never seen it before, quickly come to love it. Nutritionally, you can’t go wrong as it contains nice quantities of vitamins A and B, as well as iodine, protein, carotene, calcium and iron. Although this product is Korean, Japan, which produces about 350,000 tons a year, is by far the largest producer and consumer of nori. You’ll see it wrapped inside or out of the maki rolls at your local sushi bar. It’s grown in an elaborate system of racks in the water and finished in a process which resembles paper making. So, if you, like me, prefer your snacks slightly salty, I commend Roasted Seaweed Snacks to you. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, many Asian markets sell a similar product, and as with almost everything else, you can order it online.

I am addicted to this stuff and usually eat the entire contents of the package in one sitting. It is delicious! But yikes, 15 calories for 2 pieces means that I’m eating several hundred calories in one shot….! Oh, I don’t care. This seaweed is just that good!
It’s 30 calories per serving, two servings per package, so only 60 (because really, who can stop after one serving?
