Algamar Raw Organic Kombu 100 g

This large, brownish-gray seaweed grows at an average depth of 12 meters. It is particularly rich in alginic acid, has a meaty texture and is used in cooking to provide a rich flavor. It satisfies the appetite and is rich in minerals, especially calcium and magnesium.

Algamar's seaweed grows wild and is hand-harvested in the cleanest waters of the Atlantic and dried at low temperatures, <42 °C, to preserve maximum nutritional value. Seaweed is "bioavailable" to the body for use in essential bodily functions. Seaweed has been shown to help the body eliminate toxins.

Usage: Kombu is often used to prepare "Dashi", an umami-rich Japanese broth - an excellent base for soups, stews, and sauces.

Making Dashi: soak a 5-7 cm strip of kombu in 1 liter of water for 20-30 minutes. Then slowly bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the kombu, and the broth is ready. Add e.g. miso, mirin or umebushi.

Other methods: Bake for 5 minutes at 200 °C without soaking. Or cook for 1 hour together with legumes. A strip of kombu cooked with beans helps make the beans more digestible for those who have trouble eating beans.

Note: Kombu should not be consumed in its dried state.
