Kombu Flakes, Wild Harvested 2 oz.

Wild-Harvested Pacific Kombu Flakes – Umami-Rich Sea Vegetable, Mineral-Dense & Canadian Sourced

Kombu (Laminaria japonica) is a nutrient-dense brown seaweed known for its deep umami flavor and traditional use in broths and stocks. Our kombu flakes are wild-harvested off the clean coastal waters of Canada, offering a sustainable alternative to Japanese-sourced kombu with the same culinary and nutritional benefits.

Rich in iodine, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and naturally occurring glutamic acid, kombu enhances savory depth in soups and sauces while also helping to tenderize beans and balance flavors in plant-based cooking.

Flavor Profile:
Mildly salty, subtly sweet, and deeply savory. Provides natural umami and complexity.

Suggested Use:

• Simmer in water to make a mineral-rich broth or dashi

• Add to bean dishes to support digestion and flavor

• Sprinkle into stews, soups, or rice for added minerals

• Rehydrate and mix into seaweed salads or vegetable sautés

Preparation Tips:
No soaking needed for flakes, add directly to hot liquid or simmering dishes.
