Ocean's Balance Kombu Kelp Granules – Maine Coast Vegetables for Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian & Vegan Diets – Kombu Seaweed — Gluten Free Products (16oz)

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

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

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!

The kombu flakes were as hopes. If you’re not familiar with kombu, this variety is on the thicker, tougher side. I purchased them because I was seeking an iodine food supplement. I prefer these flakes cooked in food rather than sprinkled on top because the flakes are still pretty tough. Great added to instapot recipies.

A great quality seaweed ! Love to add to any pot of beans i'm cooking. Helps me to digest .

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!

I add it to my beans. Any dish that has beans or lentils.
