Frequently Asked Questions

We answer everything you want to know about Dried Kelp.

What is the difference between kelp and kombu?

Kombu is a specific type of edible kelp, primarily used in Japanese cuisine. While all kombu is kelp, not all kelp is kombu. It is prized for its high glutamic acid content, which provides a deep umami flavor to broths and soups.

How do you use dried kelp for soup?

To use dried kelp for soup, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth (do not wash off the white powder, as it is full of flavor). Soak it in water for 30 minutes to a few hours, then heat slowly. Remove the kelp just before the water boils to avoid bitterness.

Is dried kelp healthy?

Yes, dried kelp is highly nutritious. It is a rich source of iodine, essential for thyroid health, and contains various vitamins and minerals like calcium and magnesium. It is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense addition to any diet.

How to store dried kelp?

Store dried kelp in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container or a resealable bag is ideal to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods.

Can you eat dried kelp raw?

While some dried kelp snacks are processed to be eaten raw, most dried kelp sheets intended for cooking (like kombu) are too tough to eat directly. They are best rehydrated in soups, stews, or salads to soften their texture and release their flavor.
