Why Is Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Selling Certified Organic Chinese Nori?

Ever since we began harvesting indigenous seaweeds in 1971, our friends and customers have been asking for a good, clean nori sheet. First we tried making a rough and tough sheet from our local nori species. Then we invested in a sheet-making machine and support another Maine company in an unsuccessful attempt to grow tender nori on nets.

During that process we discovered how much the Chinese has learned about the art of making nori and started selling some of their excellent sheets. Then several years ago we traveled to China and started to process of organically certified nori through the Chinese branch of OCIA International, our seaweed certified here. Now, with the help of a third-party importer, we are delighted to offer you a delicious nori sheet that comes from a farm where:

• No chemical fertilizer has been added to the sporing tanks to increase productivity.
• No chemical dip has been used to clean competing species from the nori nets,
• No artificial fertilizer has been released into the grow-out area to speed growth.
• All harvesting and handling procedures have been inspected to eliminate sources of contamination

Just to be safe, we lab test here for heavy metals, herbicides, radioactivity, pesticides, petroleum and microbiological contamination. This is some of what Certified Organic stands for and we hope you appreciate these unseen but important distinctions.
