Pacific Harvest Kombu Strips (New Zealand) 40g

This kombu seaweed is harvested from the North Island of NZ, dried naturally to preserve nutrients and tested for contaminants in accordance with the ANZ Food Code.Kombu is essentially kelp seaweed, which has been laid flat to dry in a particular way.   The strips tend to have more intense flavour than the leaves. These are made from the stipe of the kelp seaweed.You may notice the white powder which sits on a kombu leaf or strip…. this is the result of the amino acid, glutamine, which naturally rises to the surface as the kelp frond as it dries.  This what powder is not to be mistaken for mould. It is the very thing that gives kombu is prized flavour - great for adding to meals for a umami flavour. INGREDIENTS Ingredients: Kelp (Ecklonia radiata) dried seaweed 100%.
