Laver (Wild Nori)

Laver, also known as "Wild Atlantic Nori," is a purple/black, wild North Atlantic cousin to Porphyra yezoensis or Nori - the seaweed grown on nets and processed into sheets for sushi. Laver has a similar sweet and nutty flavor in an unprocessed form. This delicious, indigenous algae grows wild on Maine's rocky shores from early spring to late fall.
