Question: Have seaweed sheets been processed before use for SUSHI?
at most sushi joints..?

Answers:

you are referring to nori, which is actually a dried algae, that is processed, dried and pressed into shape... so yes, it has been processed



Yes they are
Nori (海苔?) is the Japanese name for various edible seaweed species of the red alga Porphyra including most notably P. yezoensis and P. tenera, sometimes called laver.[1] Finished products are made by a shredding and rack-drying process that resembles papermaking. Japan, Korea, and China are the current major producers of nori, with total production valued at up to US$2 billion per year

after reading your answers - - ! !

what do you mean "processed"

this is a PC name for the radical food freaks - "processed"
Please - - please what food is not processed
stop - sorry - you can not pull out an onion - potato etc without processing it or the dirt will erode your teeth
picture a weed growing from the sea bottom of the ocean - for billions of years -
every kind of sea animal feeding on it - - it is very salty - - you wash it maybe boil it
Sorry - that is a "process" - - today it is also an ugly word

OMG unless your into RAW - - I have no answer

sorry I am a consumer - Not a Hunter - Gatherer
300 miles from the ocean - I rely on the supermarket
seaweed sheets - Norri - the government has control
do you have it - - F D A

processed - - - simply a word to scare you



Nori is the black seaweed wrappers used in sushi. Nori is a type of algae, traditionally cultivated in the harbours of Japan. Today nori is farmed, processed, toasted, packaged and sold in standard size sheets.

All food is processed.

If you cut it, it's processed.

If you pluck some fruit from a tree and wash it, it's processed.

If you drink water from a plastic bottle, it's processed.

If you eat the leaves straight off a plant, it would be unprocessed.



From the shape itself, yes.. it is..
