Beans (gas) and Kombu question,,,,,,,Kombu answer

[Guest guest]

Hi Shawn,

It's Donna (from feral I remember you there also). The kombu is in a clear

wrapped package and it's dried in flat slices about 2 inches wide. Whole Foods

does sell it too, the Whole Foods in my area stocks with by the rice stick

noodles and Asian snack mini crackers. It's usually from Japan but not always.

I have a package from Korea at home right now and one from Hawaii. I love the

added flavor it gives your soups and beans and it does cut down on the gas. It

is sometimes spelled konbu, not the sale as dulse flakes. I have tried the

potato in with the beans and it doesn't work........Hope you can locate it.

I put a few large chunks of potatoes in my crocks of beans. I've

heard that the potato somehow alleviates the gaseousness in beans. Is

this true? It seems to work.

 

Thanks to the person who mentioned Kombu. I was at an Asian market

the other day and I was looking for something that I've heard folks

mention before that tastes like the sea/salty. I saw tons of seaweed

and sushi/sushimi wrappers but I couldn't remember what the product

was called that I was looking for. Finally last night I remembered it

was called, " dulse flakes " . Is that anything like Kombu?

Hi Donna.

 

Thanks so much for the scoop on kombu. May I bug you with one more

question? What kind of flavor does the kombu have (as well is it

salty at all)? I think this is exactly like something that I'm

looking for. I'm a soup nut and I always add veggie broth to soups,

pots of beans, you name it. Again, thanks so much.
