Oarweed (Kombu)

60kr

Whole leaf dried oarweed. Rich and savoury, oarweed has thick blades with a hearty mineral flavour. Full of umami with notes of mushroom. Just like Japanese kombu, makes an excellent base for soups and broths. Simmer for just 30 minutes to make dashi – the base for a multitude of Asian soups and stews. Pickled oarweed is also a great side dish for salads and sandwiches – check out our recipe page for more details! Try something new with organic oarweed from Lofoten.

Oarweed is naturally high in iodine. We recommend blanching before eating. Blanching kelp can reduce iodine content by up to 90%. Too much iodine can affect the thyroid gland. Recommended daily allowance 0.15mg, upper daily limit 0.6mg.
