Wild Kombu - a wide leaf sea vegetable from Arctic current beds off Japan's northern Hokkaido Island, the world's best kombu. This is the central part of the leaf that is best for providing its renowned umami flavor. Highly valued for its flavor-enhancing nature and nutritional benefits, Kombu is
an ancient health food.
Kombu is essential to Dashi, the revered Japanese noodle broth or soup stock. It can be added to any soup or stew to dramatically bring out flavors. Stew vegetables with kombu. Pickle, deep-fry, pan or oven roast it then grind into a powder for a tasty, beneficial condiment for the table. Sprinkle some on popcorn as a low-sodium, rewarding variation.
Add a small piece to soup, stewed veggies, and grains as they cook. Cook one pound of dried beans with one half of a Kombu strip to smooth mouthfeel & enhance flavor.
