Review: You will not be disappointed in the taste, but expected better for the price? I mean, it doesn't taste much better than dried seaweed I've bought for half the price, or less. We will eat it and enjoy it but probably will not purchase again. Review: A very important ingredient for those who enjoy Japanese cuisine. This seaweed, all by itself, makes the dashi broth for Miso and Clear Soup. Probably many more but I've not found them yet. I also learned that letting the kombu sit in the boiled and cooled water for 24 hours makes it even tastier and more robust. Great Product! ## Features - Kombu, known as dasima in Korean, is one of the most popular seaweed varieties for cooking due to its rich umami flavor and versatility. Kombu is rich in glutamic acid, as can often be seen by the fine white powder on the kelp strips. - Common in many Japanese dishes such as miso soup and seaweed salad. Kombu is also the sea vegetable traditionally used in Japan to make dashi broth. - Add Kombu to dried beans when cooking to enhance both the flavors and texture as well as decrease the cooking time. Add a small piece of kombu to your rice cooking water for added flavor. - Emerald Cove Kombu comes in dry brown strips, perfect for creating flakes, seaweed salad mix, snacks, granules or powder. Roast in a dry skillet over medium heat until crisp, and crumble for umami sprinkles. - Ingredients - Kombu seaweed (Laminaria japonica) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BBWJYPK4 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #69,607 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #93 in Packaged Vegetable Meals | | Colour | brown | | Country of origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (28) | | Date First Available | 2 December 2022 | | Item form | powder | | Item model number | TSJAND4OVO74E715H0J2 | | Item weight | 1.76 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Emerald Cove | | Number of pieces | 2 | | Package Information | can | | Product Dimensions | 12.7 x 1.27 x 20.32 cm; 49.9 g | | Size | 1.76 Ounce (2 pack) | | Specialty | gmo-free | | UPC | 023547300228 | | Unit count | 49.9 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Emerald Cove - **Diet type:** Paleo - **Flavour:** Umami - **Number of Items:** 2 - **Package information:** can ## Images ![Pacific Kombu, Premium Dried Seaweed Strips (Kelp), Great for Dashi Stock, Non-GMO, 1.76 oz (2 pk) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fFBYVvumL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the white powder on my kombu?** A: The white powder found on kombu strips is naturally occurring glutamic acid, the source of umami flavor. **Q: What are common uses for kombu?** A: Kombu is traditionally used in dashi stock which is the base for miso soup.
