Kombu Strips
Pacific Harvest Kombu Strips are simply kelp dried whole, Japanese style. Dashi Kombu, the strip is thick & flavourful and lends itself perfectly to stock making. Kombu is simply kelp dried whole and cut in pieces. Kombu leaves are attached to the central section of the plant; they are more pliable and lend themselves to wrapping food for cooking.
Kelp is a leathery deep-water sea vegetable from the Brown Seaweed Group, with a naturally salty taste, with a lot less sodium than salt and a better balance of minerals. Known as 'Kombu' by the Japanese, the word 'kelp' encompasses a whole family of seaweeds including many different varieties, with unique taste, colour and texture.
Pacific Harvest uses Ecklonia radiata (also called North Island Kelp), because of its mild flavour. Our kelp comes from untouched areas around the country, mainly around Gisborne & Wairarapa. It is harvested sustainably by hand from the wild, after a storm has detached the plant from the kelp forest. It is cleaned by hand in sea water so to not leach the minerals, and then naturally dried.
Pacific Harvest NZ Kombu is tested for contaminants.
The fine white powder which may be evident on this seaweed is glutamine, a naturally occurring amino acid which rises to the surface of a wild harvested seaweed as it dries naturally. This is the source of wonderful umami flavour in wild harvested seaweeds and is not to be confused with mould!
