To use it we must leave to soak 5 to 10 minutes and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Ideal to cook with vegetables and cereals.

    Excellent recipes. I’ve heard a lot of people say that kombu is their favorite seaweed, so I think it’s about time I give it a try! Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas-I’m glad that most of these recipes are soups, because we’re getting into the cold winter months now, and I am always craving warm soups!
