I know this isn’t the cheapest I have seen on Amazon but can’t really find non roasted, and with out to much searching this one popped up. I’m still using julian sprungs have a few sheets left but sometimes it’s out and this is a bigger bag. So just wondering if this will be good for my tangs and reef tank.

What's wrong with roasted??
As long as the only ingredient is seaweed and the sodium content is 0 then your good to go

I don’t know how true this is but seen somewhere that said non roasted is higher in nutrients. Not as this is my main source of nutrients just thought I’d try or see what others might use with good results

Post a link to a peer reviewed study on that bit of mind blowing knowledge or it isn't true....
I don't buy seaweed with added ingredients, including salt

roasted nori is fine to use but basically a crappy version of non roasted since nutrients are lost in that process. I would pass on roasted, since its rather useless to feed it.

Interesting statement, I've heard this claimed before but never proven. Useless is a strong word. And an incorrect one imo. Care to enlighten us on the facts? I know roasting does away with a small amount of nutrients in some veggies but it also brings out certain nutrients in others. Do you have specific research you'd care to share about seaweed?

Useless is a strong word, I like to exaggerate every chance I get. The facts are that dried nori retains more nutrition than roasted, but dried falls apart faster. Roasting is usually done to release flavors, often done with vegetables to make them more palatable. Also roasted nori releases more phosphates since its more oily. I cant tell you anything more specific than that, I don't microwave these things and put them through a microscope. I have been a Sous Chef however, and the science behind drying and roasting just does not lie. That's all I can tell you. Feed roasted nori as you please, it's not "useless", but is not the same as dried.
I get the nori at the grocery. I feed 5 whole sheets at a time. They eat it all.

My dog steals my bag of julians nori any chance he gets and eats it as fast as he can. *shrug*

Been using this o e for years. More flaky than Sprungs but has done the jobI know this isn’t the cheapest I have seen on Amazon but can’t really find non roasted, and with out to much searching this one popped up. I’m still using julian sprungs have a few sheets left but sometimes it’s out and this is a bigger bag. So just wondering if this will be good for my tangs and reef tank.

ROTFLOL - I have to keep all fish food (and bread, cookies or well anything edible or smelling edible) away from my dog. She will chew the top off a jar and slurp fish flakes if I let her.

That is really a good price! If you've been using it for a while I imagine you're happy with it. The only complaint I've had about some nori is that it disintegrates too soon once put in the water. I'm going to give this stuff a try.
