Fresh Kelp Strips and Rolls

Thick green blades cut three ways in the one pack — wide sheets, rolled knots and fine shreds — all from the same cold-water harvest.

Texture is the point here: firm and slightly slippery when raw, softening to a clean chew after a few minutes in hot liquid.

Highlights

• Three cuts — sheets for wrapping, knots for stews, shreds for salads.
• Firm bite — holds together through long cooking.
• Natural umami — adds savoury depth to any stock.
• Light and low in calories — easy to work into everyday meals.

Kitchen notes

• Simmer a strip in stock for ten minutes to build a base for soups and braises.
• Toss the shreds raw with vinegar, sesame and a little sugar for a cold side.
• Wrap rice or fish in the sheets, or slice the knots into a hot pot.

Storage

Keep refrigerated in a sealed container and use within five days. Rinse briefly before use.
