Kombu Seaweed (Raw, NZ Harvested, Gluten Free)

Sale price$11.95 NZD

Kombu comes from Kelp seaweed. Pacific Harvest's Kombu is wild harvested from New Zealand's north island and then air dried to maximise nutritional value.  It is made by air drying kelp seaweed and laying it flat to dry.

Kombu offers a unique umami flavour. Pacific Harvest offers Kombu in strip and leaf form. The strip is tougher and offers more intense flavour. The leaf is more maleable and gives a slightly milder flavour.

Kombu is seeped - drop it into water and let the minerals and flavour infuse the water, then use this broth in your cooking and or stock. Scroll down for recipe inspiration.

One serving of broth is approximately 125ml of made up broth. Each serving offers an excellent source of Iodine.

You may see a fine white powder on the Kombu - this is a naturally occuring amino acid called glutamine which provides excellent flavour and is known to support gut health.

Yammy!

I love all Seaweed. I can recommend them equally. They all have a different taste quality and health benefit. It’s worth to have the whole collection and to let go only of the ones you don’t like.
