Kombu is a nutrient-rich seaweed widely used in Japanese cuisine as a key ingredient in soups, broths, and salads. A variety of kelp, Kombu is harvested from cold ocean waters and is prized for its umami flavor and health benefits. It's a natural source of iodine, which supports thyroid function, and is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, alongside minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Kombu contains compounds that may aid digestion and reduce blood pressure. Additionally, it provides dietary fiber and protein while being low in calories and fat. However, caution is advised for individuals with thyroid sensitivities or those limiting sodium intake, as Kombu contains naturally occurring salt and high amounts of iodine. Its versatility and nutrient profile make it a popular superfood, especially for those seeking plant-based options and sustainable eating practices.
