Organic Fresh Kombu Seaweed

🌿 Kombu seaweed is considered in the East as the medicinal seaweed, a seaweed of health and longevity, and it means "happiness" in Japanese.

This queen of the seas lives in a true forest. Brown in color, it can reach up to 6 meters in length.

For its countless properties, kombu seaweed has been sought after since ancient times, particularly for its richness in iodine. Kombu contains 20 to 30% minerals, which is 8 times more calcium than milk, 5 times more iron than spinach, and is also very rich in potassium and sodium. It contains vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, B6, B12, C, E, F, K, and PP. It also contains nearly 10% protein and 60% carbohydrates: guaranteed energy !

This seaweed is also known for its heavy metal chelating properties. Kombu has an interesting property of accelerating the cooking of grains and legumes, making them more digestible as well. It contains sodium glutamate, which is a natural flavor enhancer.

Manual collection on the foreshore – From March to June

- Conservation : in the refrigerator

- Delivery The shipment of seaweed is carried out on a just-in-time basis, and a few additional days may sometimes be necessary to process your order, depending on the day we are restocked. The seaweed can easily withstand several days of travel without refrigeration, even in high temperatures, thanks to their packaging in a salt bath.

You will receive an email on the day your package is shipped, followed by your tracking number the next day.

It happens that the seaweed releases a bit of water during transport, despite double zip packaging. This is rare, but if your box arrives wet, it's not a problem. Please accept your package and contact us by email to discuss the situation. In 10 years, we have always found amicable arrangements, but refusing fresh goods means the goods are lost, and we wish to avoid these scenarios.
