The Magic of Kombu

Combined with dried shiitake mushrooms, Kombu makes the most delicious dashi stock. I often soak the kombu and shiitake overnight for an even more robust rich umami flavour. Although traditionally used for soup stocks, salads, I always use kombu to soak my dried beans overnight and pressure cook with the kombu to make the beans more digestible. The health benefits of adding kombu to your diet is of course fantastic.

Tasty and nutritious

Very quick and easy to prepare. Goes well in a salad with mange tout and prawns with a lemon dressing.
Alternatively, serve simply dressed with a miso sauce or use with katsuoboshi (dried shaved bonito)to make basic Dashi. Very versatile.

To me, best quality

Beautifully cut. Sturdy and with an incredibly balanced yang energy. Use it to add minerals to dishes and help to keep them alkaline. Ad to bean stews, soups, etc and is incredible deep fried in the winter. Thank you Clearspring!

Enormous price hike (concealed)

Enjoyment of product slightly reduced by sneaky reduction of quantity from 50g to 40g without lowering price. But that's business.
