Pacific Harvest Kombu Strips a rich umami flavor to recipes, for creating flavorful Dashi, broths, and stocks. Kombu strips are thicker and more robust, delivering a more intense depth of flavor to recipes. This deep-water variety of kelp has a naturally salty taste with a lower amount of sodium than salt. Importantly seaweed contains a broader range of naturally occurring minerals than salt.

Pacific Harvest Kombu Strips are made of wild-harvested Ecklonia radiata seaweed stem sourced from the North Island of New Zealand’s pristine waters, mostly around the Gisborne and Wairarapa regions.

Sustainably hand-harvested after a storm has naturally detached leaves from the kelp then washing them to shore. The Kombu leaves are then collected, washed in seawater, and carefully air-dried whole to maximize their nutritional value and then cut into strips.

Moreover this sea vegetable has a fine white powder dusting covering it. The white powder is glutamine a naturally occurring amino acid that boosts its flavour profile as well as gut health.
