What is Kombu? One of the most commonly utilized seaweeds in Oriental cuisine, kombu or konbu has long been a dietary staple in Japan, and refers to a type of brown seaweed, namely kelp of the Saccharina japonica species that is native to Japan but also extensively cultivated in China and Korea where it's known as haidai and dashima, respectively. Apart from the great nutritional and healing values, kombu is also used for its flavor-enhancing properties: it is an invaluable natural source of glutamic acid whose powdery crystals emerge to the surface of the dried seaweed and easily dissolve in water, giving any food cooked with kombu its rich, umami flavor
