Also, I am not surprised but I am disappointed that my nori had quite a bit of phosphate. Mainly because nori tends to not get consumed right away so there is plenty of time for it to leech it's phosphates unlike the other foods that typically get eaten immediately.

not much phosphate in our taps.....but test the water below the outflow of the treatment facilities on the Bow......its what makes the Bow the blue ribbon fishery that it is......phosphate grows weeds.....which grows bugs.....which grows trout
