Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm Korean, and often use Kombu in my cooking. I can attest to the quality of Wel-pac. I live in Seattle, and it's actually right around the same cost as the stuff I've found in asian food markets ($5). If you live in an area where Kombu is not available, this is a fantastic option. These sheets are very wide and cut easily. I received no broken sheets, they were all in fantastic condition. They all also have a good amount of mannit (the white powder). I prefer to cook with the powder because I believe it adds umami (flavor), but you can rinse/wipe it off if you want. The kombu also becomes easily malleable when soaked in water. If using Kombu for dashi or stock, always remove it right before the water reaches boiling otherwise it may make it a bit "slimy". Overall, wonderful value and I would definitely buy again.
