What is the white powder on my kombu?

The white powder found on kombu strips is naturally occurring glutamic acid, the source of umami flavor.

What are common uses for kombu?

Kombu is traditionally used in dashi stock which is the base for miso soup. Add a strip to dried beans while they are cooking to aid in tenderizing the beans and add flavor. You can also pulverize dried kombu into a powder for an umami seasoning.
