RJIE 12: Some sort of Korean Dried Seaweed

How do you feel about seaweed snacks? Its a dried layer of seaweed that is normally crunchy when dry and slighty chewy when moistened by saliva. Its pretty umamai salty and somehow tasty. Some of my friends at work are weirded out by it, but why couldn't you snack on seaweed if you're fine eating it as part of sushi? Logic doesn't work sometimes.

 Apparently these sushi snacks are healthier than stuff like chips, a packet of any seaweed snack weights in at about 4-10g but they fill you up/satisfy your craving for salty crunchy things. Apparently there are low calories, salt content, fat and carbohydrate in them while there are high amounts of minerals and vitamins. Says this.

While I was looking up seaweed snacks, apparently you can make homemade ones by just getting a sheet of nori, brushing it down with toasted sesame oil, sprinkling some salt on it and then baking it in the oven. Neat, will have to try that some time.

Anyway, this is a pretty good brand, I don't know what it says and I originally took the picture upside down. Its a touch on the thin side, I prefer mine slightly thicker, but it has a good flavour and you can get a four pack for a dollar or two depending on where you get it.

What is this, its upside down is what!

So thin! Needs to be slightly thicker.
