Seaweed - Wed 6th Feb 2008
This is great for adding to hearty soups and stews to get a full but distinctive flavour. It cuts down on gas from cooking beans/pulses and also reduces cooking times too.

It swells lots when cooked and looks like rubber!

Kombu is a great ingredient to add to stews, soups and stocks, as well as pulses. It helps cooking them, and digesting them properly. It swells up A LOT and is quite rubbery, so I usually cut it in very tiny bits before I add it to my dishes. Once cooked, it looks like thick leek greens.
It gives a lovely taste to everything it cooks with, the perfect all-natural flavour enhancer!

These are amazing to put in your cooking water as they give that natural umami(sp?) taste that you would otherwise get with synthetic additives. btw, they naturally get a bit slimy after soaking. Kombu is the only seaweed that needs extensive soaking or cooking since it's not as tender as nori, dulse or wakame. Kombu is very good for you as it's the richest in iodine.

1 strip added to soups and stews gives a great taste and texture to the liquid. I've been eating sea vegetables for years and in my opinion, clearspring are the best as the seaweeds are all very clean and the very best quality.

Fry kombu in sesame oil and sprinkle with tamari soy sauce once it's done -a great bacon substitute, and actually tastier and crispier!
