Basic Prep

Our wild laver comes directly to you without processing or washing out any of its mineral richness. Please check for occasional tiny hidden pebbles or shells in the fronds. Some plants may develop a white powder during storage. These are natural salts and sugars that precipitate from inside the cells. To minimize this store this bag tightly closed in a dry area - or double bag.

Suggested Use

Laver As A Snack

You can eat it as is if you like to chew!
Light roasting in a 300 oven for 5-8 min until crisp will greatly enhance the taste as well as tenderize.
Or dry roast in a medium hot skillet turning occasionally until crisp.
Kids often love these "chips" as is - or sprinkle a little pepper on them!
Try crumbling these chips on unsalted popcorn or peanuts - or on morning-cereal hot or cold.
