Kombu

EverydayDried

Kombu is a variety of dried edible kelp fundamental to Japanese cuisine and prized for its rich umami flavor profile. This sea vegetable is particularly notable for its exceptional iodine content and abundance of minerals, making it a valuable nutritional addition to broths and soups. The thick, dark strips are most commonly used to create dashi (Japanese stock) and to enhance the digestibility and flavor of cooked legumes, though they can also be rehydrated and used in other dishes.
