What is the white powder on my kombu?

The white powder found on kombu strips is naturally occurring glutamic acid, the source of umami flavor.

What are common uses for kombu?

Kombu is traditionally used in dashi stock which is the base for miso soup. Add a strip to dried beans while they are cooking to aid in tenderizing the beans and add flavor. You can also pulverize dried kombu into a powder for an umami seasoning.

Why buy Emerald Cove sea vegetables?

We've been a trusted name in sea vegetables for more than 30 years! In addition to kombu, we carry wakame and arame as well as toasted and untoasted sushi nori.
