5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for making dashi, April 5, 2010

I bought this kombu with the idea that I would make dashi (Japanese broth) but I found it is also good for making pickled vegetables. I put cukes, daikon, raw green peppers, and anything else that I would like in a crunchy salad, in a glass jar with some sea salt, leaving it in the refrigerator. The vegetables give up their juices and soak in a brine of salt and juice.

The vegetables stay crunchy and flavorful. I put them on hamburgers and in salads. Even on a cracker with some cream cheese!

Shredded kombu (cut it with scissors after it has soaked a good long while in the salad) is a flavorful addition.

This is a delicious kombu kelp. Soak it in tepid water for a half hour and it's ready to use, with an aroma that will bring back memories of any coastline. I use mine in making dashi stock as well as for eating directly.

Be careful with the packaging, though. This comes as two separate sealed packages of seaweed bundled together with tape and cellophane; you don't want to pierce both inner packages until you're ready to use them, of course.

It's good konbu. For someone that doesn't have easier or cheaper access to good konbu, it's a good purchase.
