An active lifestyle requires conscious and varied nutrition, but it is not always easy to include all essential nutrients in your daily routine. A deficiency in important minerals such as iodine can subtly affect your energy levels and overall vitality. TerraSana Organic Kombu offers natural and responsible support in this regard. This carefully selected seaweed is an excellent addition to your meals and helps maintain the natural balance in your body.
Kombu is a dried seaweed that is naturally very rich in iodine and other minerals. By cooking a strip of kombu with rice, vegetables or legumes, these valuable nutrients are slowly released into the food. In addition, it acts as a natural flavour enhancer (umami) that can support nutrient absorption. VitAdvice brings health and convenience together in one product for the whole family.

Cook a (half) strip with rice, vegetables or legumes for extra umami. Remove the strip after cooking; it is not meant to be eaten. Want to make dashi? Soak 1 strip of kombu, 2 pieces of shiitake and 1 litre of water for 4 to 20 hours in the fridge.
After opening, store airtight in a dry, dark place at room temperature (max 20 °C). Due to the high iodine content, moderate use is recommended. Consult an expert before use if you have thyroid conditions.
