It's all a red algae (Porphyra yezoensis or P. tenera), known as "Laver" in Europe. It's chopped up and laid into paper and dried. It is then lightly toasted, which turns it green.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
