Kombu (Kelp) - Welpac -2.2 lb (Large)

Our premium case of ten 2.2 lb packages of Kombu, a versatile edible kelp, is an essential ingredient for any restaurant seeking to create authentic and flavorful dishes. Known for its subtle umami notes and slightly briny essence, Kombu is the cornerstone of dashi, the foundational broth in many Japanese soups and stews. Beyond dashi, this high-quality kelp can be rehydrated and thinly sliced for salads, imparting a refreshing oceanic crunch, or simmered with vegetables for a deeply savory stock. It also excels as a flavoring agent for rice, lending a delicate sweetness and depth. Consider incorporating it into traditional Japanese dishes like Miso Soup, Udon noodle broths, or even as a unique addition to pickled vegetables for an enhanced flavor profile. Its naturally occurring glutamates contribute to a rich, savory taste that elevates any culinary creation.
