Sea Vegetable
Flake
Nori flakes are shredded or crushed pieces of dried sheet seaweed for sprinkling on rice, noodles, eggs, and popcorn. They deliver the same toasty marine umami as sheets without rolling skill. Good flakes look green-black and smell clean and toasty—not brown or stale. Use as a finishing garnish; prolonged boiling dulls aroma. Store airtight. Often sold as “ao-nori” style flakes or mixed into furikake bases.
