Dried Seaweed/ Kelp Powder

staceypunk

I'm using a recipe tonight that calls for kelp powder but I could not find it at my grocery store. I found Dried Seaweed sheets (like for sushi I guess). There are no instructions on the package. Can I just grind these sheets up to get the 1 teaspoon needed to mix into a breadcrumb mixture as a spice?

I've never used either ingredient before

This is the recipe if it matters

Go to a vitamin/supplement/herb shop. You can get in a a few different forms. I take the kelp in pill form but they have it in powder form too.

Not going to be able to stop at any other stores, so got to work with what I've got or omit the ingredient altogether

Nori sheets are delicious and what you describe will definitely work. Whether its close to the intended end result of the recipe, I can't say, but it'll probably taste good. You can do all kinds of stuff with Nori sheets. I put them in sandwiches.

Do you have to do anything to them (heat them up, hydrate,, etc.) or do you just use as is. THANKS!

Use as is, they have enough salt if they are salted. Use a food processor or any kind of grinder you'd like. Kelp powder is a bit different from that, but I mainly use it for face masks. Tell me how you liked your recipe

Nori is great. You can also by kelp whole. It's usually called Kombu or Royal Kombu. It's very good and one of the highest sources of iodine.
