Review: Wonderful kombu! - This is the go-to kombu I have used for many years. Good quality for a small price - excellent for miso soup and when cooking with beans to soften them, I always add it to the pot after the halfway time - kombu is a healthy addition to many soups and stews, and seafood dishes...πŸ‘ Review: 99% of the iodine can be removed by boiling the kombu for 15 minutes - According to a scientific study of Japanese seaweed eaters, "When kombu is boiled in water for 15 minutes, it can lose up to 99% of its iodine content, while iodine in sargassum, a similar brown seaweed, loses around 40% [28,29]. Processed kelp is often boiled in dye for half an hour ("ao-kombu" or "kizami-kombu") before hanging to dry [21], a process which can reduce seaweed iodine content before it is consumed. When kelp is used to flavor soup stocks, the seaweed is often removed after boiling, resulting in soup stock high in iodine." Many people avoid eating kombu because it contains way too much iodine. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, people with an extremely high iodine intake will substantially increase their risk of developing thyroid papillary cancer but substantially decrease their risk of developing thyroid follicular cancer. Thyroid papillary cancer is less aggressive and has a better prognosis than thyroid follicular cancer. However, iodine, selenium, and zinc are the 3 antioxidant minerals in human nutrition. In my opinion, a high intake of these 3 beneficial antioxidant minerals might very likely slightly lower our risk of developing all cancers. Thyroid cancer is extremely rare. Even in Japan, where people eat a huge quantity of iodine from seaweed, only 1 man in 100,000 develops thyroid cancer and only 3 women in 100,000 develop thyroid cancer. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had the highest rates of thyroid cancer in Japan, not the northeast coast of Japan where seaweed consumption is extremely high. Technically, "brown" seaweeds such as kombu (kelp), arame (kelp), limu moui (kelp), wakame, mozuku, and hijiki are not plants. Biologists have placed "brown" seaweeds under Kingdom Chromalveolata instead of Kingdom Plantae. However, "red" seaweeds such as nori (laver), ogo (limu), and dulse are classified as plants. "Brown" seaweeds have rootlike structures that cling to the ocean bottom but they lack true roots, true stems, and true leaves. Also, all "brown" seaweeds are rich in the extremely beneficial marine polysaccharide, fucoidan, and the extremely beneficial marine carotenoid, fucoxanthin. By contrast, green vegetables growing on land and "red" seaweeds are rich in the carotenoids, lutein, zeaxanthin, neoxanthin, and violaxanthin but contain zero fucoxanthin and zero fucoidan. Biologists have shown that the reason why nobody who lives within 300 miles of the ocean has ever developed an iodine deficiency is because the kelp growing near the shoreline manufacture large amounts of iodine gas which escapes to float above the surface of the ocean and gets blown inland by the wind. Attached to the surface of all "brown" seaweeds are probiotic saltwater bacteria which manufacture an enzyme which allows humans to digest the extremely beneficial polysaccharides and extremely beneficial carotenoids in "brown" seaweeds. Without these probiotic saltwater bacteria, "brown" seaweeds would pass through our digestive tracts without being digested. Yes, this product is delicious but because salt always contains cancer-causing nitrosamines, it's a good idea to soak this product in water for at least 5 minutes to remove as much salt as possible. This product was farmed in the coastal areas of South Korea. ## Features - Use to enhance the flavor of soup or stew - Add to water and boil to make kombu broth - Dried seaweed ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00ZB13JHO | | Best Sellers Rank | #16 in Dried Seaweed & Nori | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Model Number | LEPPPO01-27MA33157 | | Manufacturer | WEL-PAC | | Package Dimensions | 9.09 x 7.28 x 1.42 inches; 3.99 ounces | | Units | 4 Fluid Ounces | | Upc | 639476213548 011152134079 | ## Images ![WEL-PAC Dashi Kombu Dried Seaweed (Pack 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wH13b3mML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful kombu! *by A***N on April 10, 2026* This is the go-to kombu I have used for many years.
