Product Description

Kombu is a sea vegetables of the 'Laminaria' family of which there are more than ten species. EDEN Kombu (Laminaria japonica) is a dark greenish brown sea vegetable with thick, wide leafy fronds that grow in the waters off the southeastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan's northern most island. This type of kombu, known as 'Ma-konbu', is prized not only for its abundance of essential minerals, vitamins, and trace elements but also for its natural glutamic salts that make it an excellent flavoring agent. Kombu contains the amino acid glutamine, a naturally sweet, superior flavor enhancer.EDEN Kombu Sea Vegetable grows wild in the clean, cold northern waters where the choicest grades of kombu grow bathed in steady Arctic currents. Eden selects only the tender central part of the plant that has the best flavor and texture. The fronds are hand harvested using long poles with knives attached to cut the kombu free from the ocean bottom. As the kombu floats to the surface it is gathered into boats and taken ashore. The fronds are washed, folded and naturally sun dried on the white sand beaches before cutting and packaging. Lesser grades of commercial kombu are cultivated artificially or simply gathered from the beach after washing ashore. Many are sprayed with chemically produced and toxic monosodium glutamate (MSG) to make the kombu more tender. EDEN Kombu grows wild and is gathered by hand from the sea while the plant is still living.As with all sea vegetables, kombu was traditionally valued for its ability to cleanse the blood and help the body eliminate toxins. Kombu is a source of essential minerals, vitamins and important trace elements, including calcium, iron, iodine, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, B6 and niacin. Kombu is high in alginic acid, a polysaccharide similar to pectin found in the cellulose of land plants. Writing in Culinary Treasures of Japan, Jan and John Belleme cite scientific research conducted on

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect size; great quality September 24, 2012
By Mariel

This was the smallest quantity of Kombu I could find on Amazon. It's the perfect size (for me, at least). There are 10 strips in the bag. I use half a strip for making beans. I break it off and add to the beans at the start of cooking (after the water has come to a boil) and leave it in for about 15 minutes. Then I remove and discard. It helps tenderize the beans, adds just the right flavor without having to use salt (which I avoid) and has the added benefit of iodine. I'm very pleased with the purchase and happy to be able to find the single bag quantity on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thick Japanese Kombu seaweed from Hokkaido tastes good. February 6, 2013
This thick stiff Japanese Kombu seaweed from Hokkaido tastes good. I use it to make miso soup. It is easy to break into smaller sizes when dry. It is thick when hydrated sort of rubbery. I had ten strips per package in two packages of it. I use half a strip to a whole strip for two cups of miso soup.

Perfect and yummy... I used it for sushi rice and it gave it a good taste. Boil it with the water and rice and do not remove it until the rice is done.
