Pacific Harvest - Kombu (Strips)

Kombu seaweed is has a unique, umami flavour. It is made by air drying kelp seaweed and laying it flat to dry. The Strips are the stem and leaves the fronds of the kelp plant.

Our Kombu is harvested from the pristine ocean of the North island of New Zealand.

Kombu offers a vegan or vegetarian source of umami flavour and is a very popular ingredient in Japanese cooking.  

Infuse stocks and soups, or add umami flavour to your sauces.  Infuse drinks for unique flavour.  Use any left over water for your house plants or a home facial.

Soak a Kombu strip or leaf in tepid water and gradually warm the water (don’t boil it), allowing the nutrients and flavour to seep into the water.  Then use this flavourful, nutrient enriched infused water as the base of your stock or broth. Make up a broth or stock and freeze for future use.
