Product information
This is the very first organically certified kombu from Japan. Kombu seaweed is usually cooked with rice or beans, to give the dish extra (umami) taste. You can also, in combination with shiitake, make good dashi (basic Japanese stock). We harvest our kombu on the northern island of Hokkaido in Japan. Due to the cold climate, this is the best place to grow kombu. This way, you can enjoy the best kombu there is! Kombu naturally contains a lot of iodine (232.7 mg per 100 g). Although this in itself is a good substance, for some target groups (pregnant women, people with thyroid disease and children) there is an upper limit to the daily amount. This is the reason why you usually don’t eat kombu, but instead cook or soak it.
Also available in a non-organic version (50 or 100 g).
Video: this is how we harvest our seaweed.
How to use it
