What a coincidence! Speaking of laver, everything from snacks to big ones is the same seafood. Cheap, nutritious and delicious. I remember going fishing for laver in the sea with my family when I was a child. When I said fishing, I actually went to play.

In Quanzhou, there is only one kind of laver named after geographical indications in China, that is, ancient floating laver, which has been deeply loved by the public for its smoothness, delicacy, unique flavor and rich nutritional value.

So should laver be washed before eating?

As we all know, laver is cultured in seawater. Porphyra is cultivated in autumn and harvested in winter. It grows by absorbing nutrients from seawater by the wind and the sun. There are many impurities and sediments in seawater, which will be adsorbed on the surface of laver.

When a large number of lavers can be harvested, farmers wash them with seawater for the first time and fresh water for the second time, at most twice. Because they are in a hurry to dry, they can only wash them carelessly.

After two simple cleanings, laver can't clean the impurities such as silt and silt on its surface, so laver must be washed again before eating.

Tips for cleaning laver

1. Cut the laver into small pieces with scissors and soak it in cold water until it is completely soft.

2. Add plenty of water to the soaked laver and wash it twice. Just take it out with a colander for the first time and put it on the plate. The second time, squeeze dry by hand. Laver can be eaten safely after being washed twice.

There are many ways to make laver, such as boiling laver egg soup, frying laver cake, frying laver meatballs, and making laver seaweed as snacks, all of which are particularly delicious.
