What is Kombu Seaweed?

It is also added to the cooking process of beans to make them more digestible. Kombu is dark green and often comes in dried strips that look a bit like misshapen lasagna noodles. When kombu is rehydrated and soft, it has a smooth and wet texture that is thin and very similar to other seaweeds, but with a greater density. The flavor is mild, not fishy and tastes somewhat like a mushroom.
