Ocean's Balance Organic Whole Leaf Kombu – Maine Coast Vegetables for Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian & Vegan Diets – Sweet Seaweed Gluten Free Products (1oz)

I like adding this into my rice to give it more of a umami taste plus it works well for making dashi & miso soup. Buy it all the time, great source of iodine, which I don't get from my salt at home

First time purchasing dry seaweed (kelp) to make a soup and it’s delish. I’m a novice to Asian cooking so I put too much in my first try-a little bit goes a long way so this product will last me most likely until it expires.

After sprinkling this product on my avocado toast every morning for 3 months, I got blood work done and my PCP says, "I'm glad to see you started taking your Synthroid again" with a smile. I smiled back and said "I use kombu flakes ever morning for my hypothyroidism, not a pill." He immediately turned his surprised face from his computer monitor and slowly said,"...reeeeally? Yep. True story.

This is a perfect product to make soups and more. I love it!

When I received the Ocean's Balance Seaweed, it appeared to have mold on the leaves looking through the bag, which I was a bit disappointed. When I opened the bag up, I realized that the powdery substance was salt deposits from the seaweed. I felt so bad thinking it was mold that I wanted to write a review just to let others know it was salt and this product is very good! I added the seaweed to a pot of soup I made and it was delicious!

This is a quality product. The flakes are delicious and unlike other brands I’ve ordered, there were no shells or rocks hiding in the bag, just good clean Kombu Flakes. I use them to help my under-active thyroid: the natural iodine in seaweed is exactly what I need. It’s so good in soups and stews and sauces; its natural umami really brings out the flavor of food. And it’s great on top of popcorn. My vegan friends love it too! Will definitely be ordering again!

That made the whole difference! The addition of Kombu gave the short grain rice the correct taste and luster that the grain was lacking before. A must I say!

It’s very thick but you can blend or cut it into smaller pieces and hydrate in water before eating.

Je suis vraiment contente de cette algue que j'utilise pour ma soupe miso. Le fait qu'elle soit biologique est un PLUS PLUS !

We just found the kombu flake has a smell of preservative after being cooked. We bought it with price $74.36. But it is now out of return window. So sad, waste of money.
