We toast sheets of nori at home when we're making maki, I should just do that for the baby too! Glad your LOs like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sea-vegetables#post-1494713 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:15:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 1494713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: agree! You can roast your own and control sodium that way. </p> <p>Personally I'm lazy and prefer the pre roasted kind :) she eats them with rice so it's not too salty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sea-vegetables#post-1494682 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:00:25 +0000 gingerbebe 1494682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can buy sheets of sushi nori (the untoasted stuff) and just quickly toast it over your stove for a second or two on each side. You know its done when the sheet turns green, instead of black. Then you can quickly brush it with toasted sesame oil with a basting brush and leave out the salt. </p> <p>My mom actually prefers to hand-toast and oil/salt her own nori because it tastes better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sea-vegetables#post-1494656 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:51:14 +0000 MoonMoon 1494656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: yum, I think we'll try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sea-vegetables#post-1494353 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:37:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1494353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced it when they were about 8 months. We would cut the nori into 4ths and wrap it over small bits of rice. That way the rice balances out the salt and they're getting at most 1-2 slices of nori. They could also self feed a lot easier that way without making a mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sea-vegetables#post-1494280 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:22:50 +0000 MoonMoon 1494280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months old and loves food. The transition to solids is going well and I'm always looking for healthy finger foods ideas. Specifically I'm thinking of roasted nori, which DH and I both love, but worried about sodium content. It does seem to vary a lot by brand.</p> <p>Do you give your LO sea vegetables? What age did you start? </p>
