Urban Platter Dried Kombu Strips, 100 g

Gave a great umami to my Japanese dish

Good for vegetarians because there are not many vegetarian sources for iodine. Also good if you are consuming high phytoestrogen foods like soy which iodine helps in balancing.

good quality, too expensive

This is the seaweed which has highest iodine.People who doesn't eat any fish should eat this.From 1g kombu you can get maximum iodine for a day.Super heathy food.It looks mouldy but this is what it should be.If there is not white powder on Kombu means umami deep taste is washed away.Even before use no need to wash the kombu. Just cut and put in the soup directly or make powder and mix in the food.Super tasty.

Received item with while mold growth on the edges. It's really disappointing that a reputed company like Urban Platter, has lowered the quality of their products so much, like this.

Great product. I regularly use it for making Japanese and Korean soups. I felt that the product was a little moist when it was delivered. I dried it in the sun before storing it. No other complaints. It is great value for money!

I was looking for Kombu strips to make a Kombu dashi as the base for my vegetarian ramen. While it took a few days to get delivered, completely satisfied with the kombu strips. These are dried, and there is a lot of kombu for 100g. The packet is resealable, which makes it convenient to use a few strips, and seal it back. One pack has easily lasted me a few months now!

Good
