I have so many good things to say about this One Organic party pack of roasted seaweed. First of all, I am quite surprised by the low price compared to the Nori that I have been buying in my local Publix!
This product arrived with 50 large sheets of Nori. The Nori is not flimsy like the supermarket variety. It is so much thicker, which will allow me as a beginner sushi maker (yes my husband and I took a class on how to make sushi but have not perfected it yet!) to more easily be successful at making California and hand rolls.
I reviewed this product as a snack. I liked the saltiness of it and it satisfied any cravings I had during the day for potato sticks or for something salty like pretzels. I ate two sheets and was happy happy happy. I also hate to admit I smeared tahini with ginger on one side, rolled it up and dipped it in walnut oil. It was delicious! Don't knock it, 'til you try it.....
On to my next review testing idea. This seaweed was perfect for snipping with a kitchen scissor into a bowl of soup. Cut or rip small pieces and use instead of croutons. Not just tasty - but good for you too. Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Calcium, Vitamin C and Iron and Protein in each sheet. There is no trans fat and no saturated fat. I am a fan of saturated fat, so even though there is none in this product, I can envision adding it to something that has saturated fat (like cheese, splash of olive oil on top a bowl of soup. And so, this is the perfect accompaniment for soup, salad and many many other dishes.
Call me crazy, but I was snacking on a sheet of One Organic Roasted Seaweed Sushi Nori and my dog started jumping up on me and begging for some. Why not, right? I give my cats and dog kelp in their food every now and then. It's good for them. So I pulled off a piece and gave it to her. She begged for more and more and more. I am sure the manufacturers did not have dog treats in mind when they manufactured this product. But, hey, why not?
Another nice touch is the subtle lines impressed on each sheet. I have to believe these lines would be good for cutting evenly or for a guide to fill for a sushi roll. I always notice the little touches that make a product unique. And so I appreciated the line guides.
Lastly, don't be dissuaded to purchase this nori because you fear the roasted flavor will take center stage and detract from the flavors of your sushi (I have never found roasted nori sheets in my local grocery store but just plain nori). The roasted flavor is subtle and the saltiness is not overpowering. I have tasted roasted salted seaweed which made me want to drink a river! I did not like the fact that my lips puckered afterward and the roasted flavor burned my taste buds. You will enjoy this subtle roasted flavor. It is so delicious.
There is no reason not to buy this product - today - on Amazon. Oh, also USDA Organic and a low calorie Superfood. I recommend One Organic Roasted Seaweed Sushi Nori. I have nothing but raves to report! There is no excuse not to try making sushi as the manufacturer has provided you the handy dandy "how-to" illustration above ;).

Organic Matcha by One Organic is truly the richest Matcha I have ever experienced! I first tried mixing a tablespoon of matcha into boiling water. Yummy yes but slightly too much matcha for my 8 oz coffee cup. And so, I experimented with adding 1 teaspoon of matcha to hot water. I learned on A Healthy You with Carol Alt recently that green teas should never be in hot water over 165 degrees. This is to get the most antioxidants (EGCG) intact as well as amino acids. And so, I did allow the matcha to simmer and steep in the hot water a bit, then I added almond milk with vanilla and some maple syrup for sweetness. Oh my yummy goodness!!
My second adventure with One Organic Organic Matcha began as my first. I added 1 teaspoon matcha powder to hot water and then I steamed almond milk in my milk frother (a Christmas gift from my favorite cat this year!). I folded the milk froth into the matcha and added cinnamon and apple spice to the top. Delicious!! So satisfying and would be wonderful in place of a snack or dessert.
I did not experiment with adding cacao powder or other toppings yet, but I plan on doing so for fun. I think adding a dollop of whipped cream to the hot matcha would also be a healthy indulgence and possibly if I am feeling especially sweet, karamel syrup or heated maple syrup with some crushed almonds on top would be fun. Also can be used in cakes, cookies or pies or breakfast muffins!
One Organic Organic Matcha arrived from Amazon in a generous 8.8 oz pouch. The pouch had a convenient resealable option and I did keep in the refrigerator after opening. The packaging was convenient and I could not help noticing that the packaging was designed to stand up by itself - nice touch!
I plan on keeping this product on hand also because it is a Superfood. However, the most exciting part is that it has the USDA Organic seal. This is huge because though this is a product of China (most matcha are), this product passed stringent tests and the manufacturer went to great lengths for you the consumer to have the best, healthiest 100% organic matcha - all natural-nothing added tea. If you were not aware, formaldehyde can be used in the production process as well as in the flavorings a propylene glycol base unless a product is organic. USDA means none of those dangers in your tea!
There are so many benefits to drinking this tea. I highly recommend One Organic Organic Matcha.
