PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide laver granules allowing the laver to be crunched without trouble and easily swallowed when eaten.SOLUTION: Raw material laver composed of small tabular pieces of laver and/or laver powder is heated and agitated under presence of hot water and/or a seasoning liquid, so as to be crimped and formed into a granular form by agitation with twisting during drying. The heating of raw material laver is performed at a surface temperature of the raw material laver in the range of 65 to 90°C. The drying of the crimped raw material laver is performed in the range of 40 to 90°C. Hot water and/or a seasoning liquid in an amount of 110 to 170 wt% relative to the raw material laver is sprayed to the raw material laver. Dried laver and/or processed laver is cut into squares of 5 mm or less to produce the small pieces of laver. |
