A type of edible seaweed used in sushi and other Japanese cuisine, usually pressed into thin dark sheets.
From Japanese 'のり,' which comes from an older Japanese word. It literally refers to the seaweed itself, and the word entered English in the 20th century as sushi and Japanese food became popular worldwide.
Nori is packed with umami, iodine, and vitamins, and it's basically the only seaweed most Western people eat regularly—yet it's so common in sushi that kids barely notice they're getting super-nutritious ocean vegetables.
