Atlantic Kombu from Irish wild harvest.

Scientifically, it is referred to as Laminaria digitata. Kombu is also commonly known as kelp. It should be noted that "kelp" is a general term for various brown algae. Kombu is the most well-known of the different kelp algae.

Our Kombu comes from wild harvest and is hand-harvested on the beautiful coasts of northwest Ireland.

Using Kombu (Kelp)

Kombu is a classic choice for broths, soups, and stews. Basically, anything cooked with water. :-)

However, Kombu can also be soaked, cut into pieces, seasoned with spices, and then enjoyed as a salad.
