They have the small Gimme packs right now

Those are good, but I love the Costco ones the best.

I am South Asian. It was not a part of our diet in our native country. I discovered it here in the korean grocery store first - along with Wasabi peas.

We don’t eat chicken nuggets and we limit chips to once or twice a week.

I posted before but I want to remind you that dried nori traditionally comes in larger, un-oiled, UNSALTED, sheets at H-Mart, Lotte or other Asian grocery store. Those are the ones we make sushi out of, or cut up to sprinkle on other dishes. You can buy a packet and cut them up yourself to put in snack boxes. If you're handy with chopsticks, you can do what the Japanese do: place a small nori rectangle over your seasoned rice, and use your chopsticks to wrap the rectangle over a little portion of rice, so that you have a DIY sushi/mini onigiri. Pop in mouth. Repeat.

The larger packets look like this:

We do. And seaweed has higher sodium than chips anyway.

And chips are actually as high in potassium as regular potatoes, plus some protien and iron. The problem is the fat, higher than seaweed chips, but unsalted, they are way lower in sodium than seaweed chips to a degree that dwarfs the fat differnece.
