I mentioned in a previous post that I am supposed to eat seaweed everyday. I love seaweed salad, but they usually have sugar in them. So do many of the roasted nori snacks, and I don’t find just plain seaweed to be all that palatable. I was at Whole Foods last Saturday and came across these:
I got a few packs to test and now I wish I bought more! these things are DELICIOUS. They only have nori, sesame oil, and a little sea salt. no sugar at all which of course you know I love. My Korean friends say they have been eating snacks like these all their lives and love them. I did a little search on Amazon and they have them for their subscribe and save program. The Amazon price is already much less than the WF price, and with “subscribe and save” they take 15% off as well. I might also chec out a few local Asian grocery stores to see their pricing, but I am not sure they can beat Amazon. Especially with my time and gas prices. I do try to be thrifty you know.
Ok, so the taste. You have to like seaweed as it does taste like seaweed. luckily I do. After that there is just a little sesame flavor and a week touch of salt. Luckily these come in single serving packs because I could eat a bag like potato chips. On the other hand I don’t like that they use to much packaging, so that is definitely a downside.
Tonight I’ll be making this. I knew I could make it myself! I just couldn’t even bring myself to pay that much for it.

So wished I liked nori. I know it’s so good for me, but I simply cannot handle the taste.
Good luck with your coconut butter. Your food processor might need to run a long time. Also, some of the recipes online said to add coconut oil. Mine blended without it…just had to let it run and run. Let me know how it turns out!
