Harvested from the pristine waters off the coast of Gijang, Busan, this premium Korean kelp (Dashima, also known as Kombu) is valued for its thick texture, deep color, and concentrated umami flavor. Grown under abundant sunlight and strong tides, each leaf develops the ideal density and mineral richness for making superior broths. Collected at peak season and naturally sun-dried, the kelp retains its full nutritional value—rich in fiber, iodine, and beta-carotene—while delivering a clean, savory flavor with subtle sweetness from natural mannitol crystals on its surface. Perfect for chefs, gourmet retailers, and specialty markets, Korean kelp provides a versatile, all-natural base for soups, stews, hot pots, porridges, and marinades. Simply simmer a strip in water to create a deeply flavored stock without additives or artificial seasonings. Easy to store and use year-round, it’s a kitchen essential for authentic Korean and Asian cooking.
