{"product_id":"kelp-wild-atlantic-kombu","title":"Kelp, Wild Atlantic, Kombu","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur wild Kelp comes to you without processing or washing out any of its mineral richness. Please check for occasional tiny hidden pebbles or shells in the fronds. Some plants may be partially covered with a white powder of natural salts and sugars that precipitate from their cells during storage. Don't worry, this is normal, as are occasional spots on the fringes of more mature fronds. Keep unused Kelp in this ziplock out of extreme light, heat or moisture. Here are a few tips: Kelp expands about 40% in liquid and will absorb up to five times its weight. Uncooked Kelp is chewy until soaked or marinated. To fully tenderize, simmer 15-20 min., pressure cook 5 min., roast 3-4 min. at 300°, or pan fry 4-5 min. until crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKelp in Soups or Beans:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNatural glutamates in Kelp will enhance flavors and tenderize high-protein foods like beans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReplace chicken or beef stock with Kelp stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSimmer a strip per qt. of liquid, at least 10 min. and remove if desired.
