Seaweed, nori, dried, raw

Nori is an edible seaweed; the figures here describe it dried and raw. It provides protein and minerals, including calcium and iodine. Per 100g, it contains 31g of protein, 430mg of calcium, 1470µg of iodine and 2g of salt. Carbohydrate and sugars are present only in trace amounts.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, but excessive intake can affect thyroid function. The iodine and salt content are therefore worth noting, particularly for people with thyroid conditions or those monitoring salt intake. The amounts consumed depend on the quantity eaten. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
