Delicious

worked great for miso
It's a big bag, the quality of the soaking is very good, it's thick slices, you can taste the kelp flavor. I bought the best kelp on Yami in the past six months, with high cost performance

Delicious and thick

ready for soup

Very good, will repurchase

easy to foam

Repurchase indefinitely, just the quantity is small, need to buy a few more bags.

Not totally dried out, so it's easy to work with. Will buy again.

makes nice dashi broth

This kelp is really cheap and good
We answer everything you want to know about Dried Kelp.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
